When German police viciously quell a protest against the shah of Iran, popular journalist Ulrike Meinhof rebels against her dishonest marriage, walks away from her children and joins radical anarchist Andreas Baader. Together with Baader's girlfriend, Gudrun Ensslin, they form the violent Red Faction Army, and together perpetrate a slew of terrorist attacks as a way of disrupting the fabric of what they see as an increasingly fascist state.

Consumer passkeys are just an extension of the OMB Policy Memorandum M-19-17, Enabling Mission Delivery through Improved Identity, Credential, and Access Management (dated May 21, 2019). It is ultimately part of anti terrorism efforts with regard to banking and fraud. Think of this as consumer computer version of the scene in the movie The Baader Meinhof Complex when the cops are discussing a proposal for electronic data processing. "According to a poll by the Allensbach Institute, one in four Germans under 30 sympathizes with the RAF. That's nearly 7 million people. That amounts to an enormous pool of sympathizers, which makes the search for perpetrators extremely difficult." It signals the end of publicly available general computing. This was always inevitable, the mob cannot be trusted with weapons of mass destruction. Computers = Guns
Since we're on the subject, there's a film about them which I'm pretty sure I saw on Netflix (in the UK). Fascinating and rather depressing story.

Wasn't this part of a movie, Baader Meinhof Complex or something?
The Baader Meinhof Complex (2008) was much better.

A great point. For some reason a lot of people have it ingrained that terrorism is a recent phenomenon, not realizing that the 60s 70s and 80s were a complete mess and a very tense time.
All the major cities in Europe experienced hijackings, bombings, kidnappings and hostage drama. Most people today don't even know who Ilich Ramirez Sanchez is, or the PLFP, or as you mention the Red Army Faction
On that note, both the mini-series 'Carlos' and the German film 'Baader Meinhof Complex' are fantastic.
