“if you’re unhappy about having your face scanned, opt out and make a painful process even more painful!”
I get what they’re saying, but sometimes it just isn’t with the effort. I moved 1300 miles away from my family (single, no kids) so I fly pretty frequently now. I can get through Fort Lauderdale airport, which is pretty big in ten minutes from the curb to my gate…and that’s with like 50-100 people in line with me.
I’m also a 38 year old white guy so it’s a US citizen with no criminal record, so that makes it easier compared to someone that looks Middle Eastern. My friends are Italian-American, but look Middle Eastern and have definitely been “randomly selected” before though.
Standing up for your rights isn’t convenient, but it has to be done. Those that engineer this shit know that and make it as convoluted they can for this exact reason.
Always be on guard against those who would make you give up your rights voluntarily while giving up none of their own.
I understand what you’re saying, but if you’ve ever uploaded a picture or video of yourself to the Internet, they already had enough for surveillance.
A lot of people don’t care that much and opting out is your right if you do care.
Uploads thousand og pictures of themselves to social media
Airport scanning my face! That’s AgAiNsT my privacyyyyyy!
Honest quetion, how/where are drivers license photos saved? Is saving photos at the state level more or less secure than saving at the federal level? Also, the TSA supposedly just uses scans to speed up and more accurately verify, and claims not to save the scans (for now). If they wanted a database of everyone’s face scan, couldn’t they just subpoena every state’s DMV/tag-agency for license photos?
Here in Europe, you don’t have to go through any facial recognition check if you don’t want to. This also applies if you’re traveling to the UK.
