Your future passport won't be a passport at all.


123RF

There's an old truism of travel: as long as you've got your passport, you'll be fine. You can forget items of clothing, you can break your phone, you can lose your valuables. As long as you have your passport, you can travel.

You can pass from country to country. You can identify yourself to local police. You can check into hotels. You can get yourself onto a flight.

Your passport is everything. I live in constant fear of losing mine. I never want to be without it.

And yet, what if that's about to change? What if passports are about to go the way of the traveller's cheque and the paper air ticket? What if the only thing you'll need to travel the world in the near future will be your face?
