Original question by @[email protected]
For those of you who travel in the united states, you’ll know they now have facial recognition scans when checking your id. You can opt out by telling them you don’t want to take the picture. I do every time, but I wonder what the point of the scan is if you can just opt out. That given, why do you think they do it? What prevents them from forcing you to do it?
To those of you who live outside of the united states, have you seen a similar increase in security at your airports?
What was that saying?
“Trade privacy for convenience and you end up with neither”?
I pick and choose my battles. Online? Sure. In a federal building with 700 other cameras that have already more than easily got my mugshot 20x over as soon as I entered, I’m just going to take the Convenience benefit. It’s not going to change anything.
