Last time I came through Global Entry all that was required was a face scan. Passport not required.
Got a tip for us?

It's neither an argument or innuendo. Just a few words designed to make people think.
My opinion is completely irrelevant.
If you're curious there's plenty of information available if you wish to learn more by doing your own research.
I actually thought I did something wrong because after I did the face scan I realized I hadn't put my passport on the scanner.
Wow, you just provided the dictionary definition of innuendo:
innuendo
[in-yoo-en-doh]
Phonetic (Standard)IPA
noun
plural
innuendos, innuendoes- an indirect intimation about a person or thing, especially of a disparaging or a derogatory nature.
I tend to agree that your opinion is irrelevant, as if you had any actual information, you would provide it.
Information about what? Your elliptical reference provides no information as to what to even try to find, so I presume it is just nonsense (if it was as easy as you intimate it is to find, should be easy to provide even one reference).
But why? The card isn't meant to be shown to anyone (it wouldn't be secure either, since wallet cards are easy to fake). The ID data is always transmitted with cryptographic protection via NFC/Bluetooth. No need to expose personal information to "shoulder surfers". You can view the passport data in the properties of the card (after FaceID authentication).
I had hoped that was the case but it's not. I have many many times over the past 24 hours and it actually spins when trying to select any state drivers licenses or the digital ID. Something not right with my account/setup. I have seen a few others with this issue on this forum and reddit.

Face ID is an excellent example of Apples expertise in constant development. Since its implementation in iPhone X they have forged ahead with unceasing efforts to perfect the technology.
Employing an advanced sensor array, it accurately maps a users face with extreme accuracy. Facilitating transactions through Apple Pay is but one stellar example of its usefulness.
yes, all caps. BUT, why does it matter?? The only person that sees this card is you. You will never be in a situation where you show this card to someone. Its read by a machine
On a recent trip to denmark it was surprising how many places stores refused cash. Even the little corner stores. Applepay worked virtually everywhere, incuding on a bus and a taxi, both of which refused cash. Same with public transprtation in several other countries. One train station in the Netherlands had pay toilets that had no way to pay cash but had readers on the doors. They didn't read Applepay but thankfully somebody exiting a stall held it open for me.
Wow, that is so different from when I was there several years ago. At a train station I remember thinking how glad I was that I didn't have to rustle for coins like people in line were and could just use Apple Pay instead.
Welp, tried to use this and was not accepted in JFK Terminal 5 or ATL. ATL even had the hardware necessary but they wouldn't even try using it. Might be so early TSA isn't trained on it?
