The Wall Street Journal tech
editor favorably reviewed this new app for world travelers. Finally a way to breeze through US Customs
when you arrive back home. He said it
works. http://mobilepassport.us/ Certainly worth a look if you travel
overseas. You will still need the real
passport, but this could making coming home a great deal more pleasant.
Iowa, I think is the State, that is experimenting with
driver’s licenses that will be on your smart phone – so they will never get
lost (in the usual sense) and will always be with you (as most people never get
more than a few feet from their smart phone).
Someday that will be normal, USA wide. It helps make traffic stops much faster.
Someday the US Government
will get up to speed on technology for things like those just mentioned, which
could save much time and money. However,
improvements in hacking defense would be welcome before much more tech is
deployed.
