    This also means people wouldn’t be able to travel with cheap burner phones, which is extremely problematic for people who need to travel to and from increasingly authoritarian states.

      It also means you are required to travel with a phone. Some people don’t own a cell phone because they don’t want one, need one, or can’t afford one.

        Is there a lot of overlap between people who can’t afford a cellphone and are taking flights?

          Not a lot, maybe, but in cases where someone else is paying for the flight, there may be some. And there are a fair number of older people who may be able to afford the plane ticket, but carry a dumb flip phone because that’s what they understand and can operate.

        Pshaw! Who wouldn’t want an expensive personal tracking and monitoring device?!
