But with digital boarding passes, they can get access to your entire phone. Last time I flew, I tried scanning my digital boarding pass at TSA. The guy stops me and basically just takes my phone to do it himself. I was trying to watch what he was doing with it, but he was sitting behind a terminal. When he handed the phone back, the web browser was open, showing my phone carrier’s website, instead of my boarding pass like it was when I handed it to him. There’s a small chance it could have been accidental, but if not, I don’t know what he was trying to access or why. Very unsettling.
