📌 EPISODE SUMMARY:
📈 82M Americans expected to travel for Thanksgiving (record high)
🚘 73M driving, flights & roads packed
💸 Gas prices inching up
📆 Busiest return day: Sunday, Dec 1st
🆔 Digital ID is rolling out — Apple Wallet + TSA partnership
📱 Scan passport ➝ selfie ➝ facial recognition ➝ TSA acceptance
💥 No REAL ID or passport? ➝ $18 fee + biometric scan
🇪🇺 Europe already requires full biometrics to cross borders
🎯 U.S. goal: 100% adoption by 2027
❓Trump implementing system originally set up by Biden
⚠️ Concerns over privacy, surveillance & comparison to China’s social credit system
This Thanksgiving will shatter travel records — 82 million Americans on the move, most by car 🚘 and a record number flying ✈️. But here’s the shocker: This may be the FINAL holiday you travel without a digital ID. A system combining TSA + Apple is rolling out requiring passport scans, biometrics, or REAL ID… and if you don’t comply? An $18 fee & mandatory face scan at a biometric kiosk.
Europe’s system is already active. Fingerprint, iris scan, face scan — to enter or LEAVE your own country. It’s now coming here. Launched under Biden, implemented under Trump. Is this convenience… or control? 🤔
We break it down — travel stats, gas, digital ID, biometric systems, and why the goal is 100% digital ID adoption by 2027. Buckle up.
