Additionally, the UK is implementing an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) on January 8th, and the EU will launch the ETIAS system later in the year.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1687-authentified/chapter/digital-id-advocacy-social-security-number-obsolescence.md

Cybersecurity expert David Kennedy, a victim of the previous OPM hack, suggests that social security numbers are a legacy identification method that should be replaced by government-pushed digital IDs. There is skepticism that this data breach is being used as a PR maneuver to transition the public toward a federal digital ID system similar to Australia's. Concerns are raised that such a system would eventually link personal identification with vaccination status and AI monitoring.

Observations from a recent trip highlight that TSA agents no longer require boarding passes, relying instead on digital ID verification.

The state of Hawaii has implemented strict testing requirements for tourists, requiring negative results within 72 hours of travel. This trend aligns with the development of "Freedom Passes" and digital IDs in regions like Colorado and Wales to track vaccination status. The hosts argue these systems are precursors to permanent digital surveillance and movement control.

Starting October 2020, travelers will require a Real ID-compliant license or a passport to fly domestically in the US. The hosts criticize the redundant documentation requirements, noting that a passport is sufficient to fly but often insufficient on its own to obtain a Real ID.
