Some Canadian dude named Martin Reisch was allowed to enter the US after realizing he forgot his passport, but the U.S. agent allowed him to cross with a scan of the document that was saved on his iPad. I for one have no problem with this, but I'm guessing those who have bigger national security concerns than I do might take issue with it. To me, it sounds like a dream, but I'm someone who is always forgetting their passport. Maybe we can now forego passports and just use iPads? RICH PEOPLE CAN GO ANYWHERE!

Seriously, I see this as a win for technology. Hopefully, if we can move away from paper docs, we can get through a ton of lines a LOT faster. 

Oh, and in case you were wondering, Martin was also allowed back into his native Canada with his passport. Don't need a bunch of tech-savvy Canadians here in the US of A, taking all our blogging jobs.
