You guys saying cheese at the TSA checkpoint now?

Hadn’t flown in a year, sign said it was optional so I told them nah.

This shite is getting out of hand.

I opted in to bio recognition after I did Global entry years ago

Gets me to the front of line at Atlanta airport where I live faster than Clear.

Global entry requires this anyhow so nothing to lose

If govt wants to find you they will

Opt out all you want, but every major airport customs and security is tracking your face regardless of if you smile into the camera or not.

Customs agents at Denver already know your name as you walk up to their booth. This is such a stupid hill to die on, we are beyond the point of return.

I agree with this woman. The sh!t is really getting out of hand. I would hope with a Republican administration we would take a step back from this 1984esque dystopia.

To add insult to injury, 2 illegals went through TSA right before me and didn’t have to undergo facial recognition.
That's how you know none of this is 'for your safety.'

Another program, brought to you by small government conservatives.

If you use the Brookshires self checkout, you're on camera.

Just so you are aware, if you have a drivers license they have your photo and you track you based on that just as easily.

Anytime you walk through an airport without a hat they can track you from the drop off line to the moment you step on the plane at any major airport.

Regardless of tsa precheck this is already a done deal, having that scan just makes it easier for them from a database standpoint.

Same. I also have global entry and precheck. The FBI already has my pics and fingerprints from when we traveled to Russia 3 times.

You are already tracked the moment you bought the ticket and step foot in an airport.

Your phone tracks you, your search history tracks you, your credit cards track you. You are tracked everywhere. They know who you are

This chic just looking for clicks.
The Feds already have all your biometric data anyway.
There is nothing to hide.

They have everyone's RealID image and/or passport image. When you look into that 'camera' at TSA it just does a probability scan that you are who you say you are.

If you’re a veteran, they’ve got DNA too. There’s basically no hiding from the government at this point.
