More and more not complying with digitalization will get you into trouble. I don't think it will be mandatory but expect to run into delays, similar to how you technically have the right to refuse the x-ray-like machine at airport security, but doing so is time consuming, everyone will hate you for it, and cause you significant delays, on top of making you look suspicious.
And it sucks.
I quit flying (domestically, at least) over the x-rays and TSA bullshit. I'm driving 13 hours today in order to avoid that particular security theater.
Can't wait for high speed rail to be common and cheaper in Europe. I just hate everything about airports and flying. I already only fly if I have time constraints. I'll gladly take a train for 10 hours instead of a 1 hour flight (which requires more than 1 hour commuting, being 2 hours early, waiting for luggage, then commuting back, so that 1 hour is more like 4).
Trains in the US are starting to have some of the same security measures as airlines... :(
