Well a passport can always be faked. If the world became a totalitarian dystopia and you were a freedom fighter that had to elude detection, you can always use a fake passport. Faking biometrics is much harder if they already have your data.

I don't think I'd consider "it's harder to fake" a negative for the project if I was involved.

Yes. It’s very good for the project (and the NSA), not so great for users. I’m responding to the comment that prefers to give biometric data to some random private company
