Feels to me like GrapheneOS did exactly what it should, passing the US border test with flying colours!

Funny part about this lawsuit: “With a little planning ahead of time, you can always download the data you need once you get to where you’re going,”

Where are you located? Biometric passports needs your fingerprints since ages already.

Ages.... You young ones... (decades, yes)

Locally I am okay with it (possibly not having a choice anyway) but you got shafted post 9/11. So I was there a few times before that.

I can travel freely in the EU.

Decades is ages for most human beings 😁

I'm not an American but yeah that bs sure creeped over here after 2001.

Edit: you still need an ID (like a passport) to travel in the EU, it's just that no one cares if you don't take the plane or go to sweden.

You can go from Portugal to Poland with your country's ID... And don't be required to show it anywhere.

I have my Personalausweis and Reisepass but sometimes don't even need it when being checked in, depending from which country to which. It's strange sometimes.

Ah yes I actually had to look up the definition of ages with the translation. For me it subjectively differs in the meaning with the German translation so you're right, it just means a long time. For me ages is more akin to ancient 😁 so I might need to rectify that.

Welcome to the club of the ancient 😁!
