> Outside of the US airtravel is still relatively similar to rail.

I live outside the US and this is laughably wrong.

How can you collapse the entire world down to "outside the US".

Israeli airports are exactly the same as Zimbabwean airports in your worldview?

I live in SE Asia and no country around here has air travel "like rail". I cannot get through xray and security in minutes. I cannot just show a ticket on my phone.

In Australia domestically,you can show your QR code on your phone or print the ticket at home (or even use the kiosks at the airport to print it out). You still need to pass through one set of security screening, but expect the queue (away from holidays and peaks ) to be around 15 minutes.

I assumed your parent commenter was referring to domestic air travel.
