The Photo ID isn't exactly the issue. The passport information is owned by the government. When your face is scanned at the airport, who owns that data then? What happens with it after they are done?
Don't get me wrong - I'm not exactly against the idea. Identifying bad guys and stopping them from blowing up a plane I am on gives me a warm fuzzy.
I think I am just commenting on much things have changed since 9/11. Your mobile phone carrier, Google and facebook know where you are. Advertisers know what you are likely to buy. My own home security system even has facial recognition.
It's just ... weird.
