I’ve noticed the same thing. It’s the Google Location services. It’s cut my battery by a third, so I gave up.

Sounds like you were as much a security risk as the cupcake seized in Las Vegas due to suspicious icing.

I just used it this past weekend on my snowboarding trip to Mammoth. It worked perfectly. I have the Gnex too.

I’d love this except I always fly with a child, and iirc you can only have one digital pass per phone.

Missed a flight because of a stupid electronic boarding pass. Never again. The electronic boarding pass said my flight had already left when I scanned it because the flight was delayed. They couldn’t let me on because it posed a “security risk” Had to go back to the ticket counter, print off a paper boarding pass for the flight that already left and get bumped to the next one.

Not all airports have the ability to scan at 100% of their locations. Stand in line for 10 minutes then go back downstairs to get a printed boarding pass to stand in line again. Saw it happen in Vegas on Friday while leaving CES.

As efficient at systematically tracing and recording our every single move, yes.
