I assume the app will attempt to tie my device identifiers such as IMEI, phone number, and advertiser ID to my government digital ID. Then they can tie it to other ID's such as Facebook or other app ID's on the device that also read device identifiers. It probably would fail to install on my Graphene phone that treats all apps as hostile by blocking them from reading any device identifiers. I would rather wait with the rest of people in lines than submit to this.

Speculating like this with no evidence just to peacock to everyone that you're privacy conscious is not actually helpful for anyone.

[kornhole]

It is not speculation. I assume every app is hostile and trying to grab information until it can be proved that it does not. Until the app is open sourced and/or people do network analysis on it, this is the safest default assumption.

It absolutely is speculation if you haven't done the legwork and just want to throw out quick and easy takes like this.

I hope for the best but plan for the worst. The government has a high bar to meet to earn my trust. Government has lied to me too many times. They need to find some way to prove this app is safe for my freedom. Until then, I will endure the sexual abuse of TSA groping my junk when I got through the airport.

If you have PreCheck, this app has literally nothing to do whether or not the TSA will give you a pat down or not. And I don't know about you, but TSA is pretty careful about not "groping your junk" and will always be clear what they intend to do and use the back of their hands specifically to avoid any kind of impropriety. Cut down on the hyperbole about "sexual abuse" because you're trivializing what sexual abuse actually is.

iOS apps also can’t get device identifiers.

Besides, wariness is wise but assumptions are not.

[kornhole]

Don't Iphones have advertiser ID's available to apps?

[brookst]

It’s unique per app, I believe.
