Travel Security

Today I am grateful for having a roof over my head on this rainy day. Unfortunately, not everyone will have that luxury on this cold and rainy evening in San Francisco.

I am headed to Baltimore tomorrow morning to spend Thanksgiving with Sophia’s family. We have a really early morning flight at 6am so I’m optimistic that we’ll get out on time on one of the worst travel days of the year.

Not surprisingly, I have a little bit of travel anxiety thinking about the potential travel nightmare that’s in front of us.

I look forward to the day where security lines are streamlined.

I recently spoke to the founder of a start-up that’s working to create a blockchain identity platform which individuals can use to verify their identity.

While I think we’re still far out from implementing this in real transactions such as the airport, these kind of applications of blockchain technology is what excites me.

Imagine airports where a simple scan of the face will verify your identity and flight details within seconds and there are no more TSA agents checking your ID one by one.
