I for one am really worried about the UK Digital Visa system. There are just so many ways it can break down

Airport WiFi - people can easily run deauth with aircrack-ng. Email server might be down Phone out of battery Etc

It's not digital in the sense that you need to show it on your device.

It's digital in the sense that it's electronically stored against your passport number, and the UK Border Force can see it just by scanning your passport.
