In its Immigration White Paper, the Govt heralded a pilot of ‘new intelligent technologies that facilitate contactless travel through eGates’. 📣 New on the ILPA blog, Elspeth Guild & Catriona Barclay consider the implications of passport-free travel. Read in full 👇 ilpa.org.uk/about-face-t...

Image of AI face with quote: Passports matter, and they matter particularly as their issue is a prerogative of state sovereignty. Marginalising the role of passports in border controls may seem like a good technical fix to keeping passengers moving rapidly through entry ports, but the deeper consequences of such a move may create friction with other states.
