Did you read this story?
Airline keeps mistaking 101-year-old woman for baby. “My daughter made the reservation online for the ticket and the computer at the airport thought my birth date was 2022 and not 1922," But it appears the airport computer system is unable to process a birth date so far in the past - so it defaulted to one 100 years later instead.

It's easy enough to blame the system or whoever designed it - surely they should have used the whole year as a field. But if you think about how many centenarians are flying, catering to the edge case over the 10 billion air passengers that flew in 2023 is not just the extra 2-digits of data, but also the additional obligations that it brings, despite there being enough storage for all of this. The two digits isn't something worth quibbling about - design for it, don't design for it, whatever.
However there is a more fundamental broken business process... the fact that an airline passenger has to fill in all of this information in the first place each time they need to buy a ticket. When we first started to prove who we were, the passport was a single source of the truth - accepted by immigration officers worldwide. When we needed to prove our identity digitally, our only proof, the passport was analog, so we had to jump through all sorts of hoops like scanning in our passport or entering all the details online.
Isn't it time for a digital passport?
