You do if you don’t show up early enough to give the agent time to 1) even get to you and 2) run the enhanced security process with you and still have enough time to make your flight.
I travel for a living. Wanna take a guess how many times I hear people whining to the gate agent “but I was stuck in security”?
Uhhh, make sure you’re who you say you are and don’t use someone else’s ticket to fly with?
Passports are just very convenient for that when you lack any universal document in the states.
You don't, but I always use my Passport when flying, instead of my license. That way I can leave my wallet in my bag.
That said, I'm not putting any ID on my phone, state or federal.

In the UK there's an app called Yoti that you can use to create a digital ID. If you add a passport to it you can use the app to prove the right to work, rent etc as well as your age. Of course, that only works when it's supported by the other end and to date I've not seen anyone accept it. This Apple version reminds me of that and I wonder if it'll be taken up better.
They also put a glue stick on your hands.
I don’t know if it’s a glue stick, or an Icy Hot roller… but it sure does look like one so I’m going with it. No Real ID? Here’s some hot hands!
México stamps passports and uses the stamp as space for the immigration agent to write the date the traveler needs to leave the country. It replaces the paper FMM form that visitors used to fill out after arriving at an airport. It makes sense since a person is going to keep track of their passport more than they would some postcard sized paper form.
“As awesome as having an iPhone is, there is 0 chance I am willingly handing over my entire phone to apple”
I went through security twice this week using Clear. The TSA checkpoints have been upgraded to accept ID via NFC - currently only Clear is using it, but it’s there, even at airports that aren’t in the pilot.
At certain airports they do. Ask your airline what you need (and always have the physical with you for backup).
I literally use mine all the time and have had zero issues. I feel the people who do have issues is purely anecdotal evidence or they just never used it or tried it.

Don't like it? Too bad. It's a forum where people are free to share their opinions and thoughts.
right, progress society at the expense of what? have you even given any thought about that? You're given up things for that.
South Africa and Lesotho. I was on a missions trip to Lesotho a couple of years back. Our hotel accommodations were in South Africa and one of our team members was holed up in our hotel in SA because he was out of pages in his passport, so he could not travel back and forth with us to the job site in Lesotho.
Ethiopia was still stamping passports in 2018, not sure if they still do.
It happens.
Given up what? Some fake Mark of the beast BS? Everything mark of the beast can do, they can already just do with facial recognition, which is already everywhere. An ID in a phone can't change that.
How do you know it's fake? Why don't you do some research instead of watching and believing everything you see and hear on the mainstream news and social media. Where do you think all this technology and AI stuff is leading us? We will become the iphone when the chip is implanted inside of us and we won't have a say as to whether or not we want it. Then only will you know that you've been deceived all your life.
