    It allows U.S. iPhone users to add their passports to Wallet, with the digital passport able to be used in lieu of a physical passport for domestic travel at TSA checkpoints.

    Not a real compelling use case, especially when TSA Precheck is going biometric.

    I see confusion ahead when travellers go to airports for international flights and find out that the airline wants the physical copy in-hand before they'll be allowed to board.
