    It’s not even really a privacy perspective or a technology thing. I mean that matters but that’s a deeper issue.

    I simply don’t like the idea of an critical travel document not being physical. I like that right now I can lose my phone and I can still easily cross back into my home country. Mabey I’m just old (I’m in my 20’s).

      A phone is also a physical object. Yes, you could lose it, but you could also lose your paper passport.

      The bigger issue in terms of reliability is having your documentation on a device with a battery that can run out.
