MICROCHIP IMPLANTS THAT REPLACE BOARDING PASSES: DUTCH AIRLINE PASSENGER USES IMPLANT TO BREEZE THROUGH AIRPORT SECURITY
A Dutch traveler has become the first person to travel without a physical boarding pass. The passenger had a microchip implanted in his hand that had all relevant travel documents. An experiment using an NFC microchip allowed the traveler to breeze through airport security without ever needing to hand over a his boarding pass for identification. Instead, the traveler scanned his hand on an NFC chip reader and was passed through security with the swipe of his wrist. The traveler was also able to insert the microchip into his hand on his own with a kit that was delivered to him in the mail. Could microchip boarding be common practice in the near future? Will physical passports become obsolete?
The Daily Mail reports that Dutch traveler Andreas Sjöström was able to implant a microchip that was mailed to his home as a replacement for the numerous travel documents typically needed to board an airplane. Sjöström, vice president of digital for technology consulting at Sogeti, opted to test out the chip as part of the Scandinavian Airlines’ program. The airline says they are aiming to create an innovative customer experience which will allow customers to worry less about boarding documents. The chip that was implanted into Sjöström contained his Scandinavian Airlines EuroBonus member ID which allowed him to board the plane, enter lounges, and go through security without presenting a boarding pass. But will the technology be made available to the public? For that to happen there is a lot of testing that needs to be done before the microchip can make all paperwork obsolete. In the meantime, the tech company says all travelers should have proper paper documentation on hand at all times.
“It gave me a new sensation, sort of a pre-notion of what it will be like in the future when we don’t have to reach out with physical objects to accomplish things.”
In the video it was noted that the implant has an NFC chip and was implanted directly into the hand.
The technology was used at the Stockholm Arlanda airport.
“For some of us, digital services become increasingly important. We use them to keep in touch with friends and family, to stay healthy and in shape, to learn, to be entertained, and so on. If an implant would improve these services for me, as a user, in a significant enough way, I would consider that implant. For example, if I could have an implant that automatically would translate everything I hear, from one language to my mother tongue, I would consider that implant. In order for us, who are involved in designing these new solutions, to come up with the right set of characteristics and features for these types of implants, it makes sense to experiment even with simple implants like an NFC-chip, to learn.”
What do you think about the potential future of microchip implants? What would a microchip need to do for you to opt for an implant?
요약
네덜란드 승객들은 최초로 탑승권표가 없어도 항공기를 이용할수있는데 이 승객들은 여행에 필요한 모든 문서정보가 들어있는 마이크로칩을 손에 이식합니다. 이 NFC 마이크로칩을 가진 승객들은 예전처럼 탑승권표를 전달해서 보여줄 필요없이 팔목을 대기만 하면 보안을 통과할수있습니다.
