Your government can kind of just take away your passport, trap you inside, and make it hard to get a passport elsewhere. By controlling your access to your own identity documentation.

It happens to little out-of-favor groups primarily.

But it's important to remember that power is there.

One thing I remember Ron Paul saying a long time ago as well... Walls(or heavily secured borders monitored by drones) work both ways.

Canada effectively did this with the unvaccinated for 9 months. They weren’t allowed to travel by any federally regulated modes (ex. Air, ship, or train) and they also weren’t allowed into the USA.

Everyone needs a plan b passport. Those of us coming from countries with terrible passports are often ahead of the curve on this.

For those of us of Irish descent - parent or grandparent - getting dual citizenship, and after a passport is not terribly arduous. Getting documentation together, now.

What’s the hedge for this risk?

Yes. So it is very important to be able to do much of what we need and want to do whether official government permission slips are available or not.

No, "kind of". They DO those things to people. It's happening all around the world. Guberments want to keep their flock in a ideological and physical cage.

The US did it to Bobby Fischer back in the early 2000s. He ended up spending months in a Japanese detention center. He was rescued by Iceland who stepped in and granted him citizenship. (He played his world championship match in Iceland back in the 70s). His crime was to be critical about Israel pub...

Not even just out-of-favor groups. If you speak against the wrong person in the gov you'll get targeted.

The even scarier thing is we are using QR code in Singapore now. They do not even need to confiscate any pp in the not too distant future.

Passports may not even be necessary as methods of biometric identification become more prevalent. Is there anything that can be done by freedom minded people to push back?
