No it's not? Literally just got a new passport and they didn't say anything about digital passport
This is called manufacturing consent. News media tells you what future the elites want so it seems inevitable and desired when they force it through. Alternative futures can never be considered.

No, the proper term is "clickbait". If there's no drive to make this a reality, don't invent one and attribute it to shadowy forces.
The headline says dying, not dead. And the article is about new methods of ID verification, some of which are already in place. I fly for work a lot, and I rarely have to show any ID nowadays. Clear gets my ID from an eye scan and gives that to TSA. Delta and Air France use my face scan at the gate instead of checking my passport when I fly internationally. The only check for my passport now is when I drop off my bags.
That new passport of yours most likely has a chip in it already so you can just swipe it a a border on one of those big machines with cameras... most new passports do... yay.
