I’m in engineering and have used active digitizer tablets since the T2010 in 2007.

However, I rarely use the digitizer now, considering that OneNote supports Latex-like formatting. Only for diagrams and small sketches is it useful now… however, I did pick up a Surface RT and hoped that a capacitive stylus would be sufficient for those small use-cases. Nope—had to return it, sadly.

Also—by any device, you mean any device with OneNote installed, right? I can’t seem to pick up ink notes on WP8 or Android or the web app. (: (Or math, for that matter.)

America does it already… I come in through SFO/LAX quite often, and it has been around for at least four-five years (Logitech webcams to take your current picture, and fingerprint scanners).

On departure, it isn’t done, though—I suppose this changes that.
