> meaningless as putting a cover over your laptop camera
I don't think anyone ever shared a naked picture taken with a microphone (semi-related: https://www.yahoo.com/news/tsa-backlash-grows-over-leaked-bo...). I don't think it's terribly rare to join a meeting not realizing that the camera option was still on (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13240957/Zoom-view-...)
It's also not clear what this has to do with the TSA taking pictures at the airport. At this point I feel like you're just arguing for the sake of argument
It’s privacy concern theatre without comprehending how good modern facial recognition is from one photo even when running locally on a modern smart phone. The TSA already knows you are on the airplane regardless.
Just like covering up a camera from a bad actor on a laptop does little good compared to the information that can be gleaned by a microphone - the same with a phone.
Well, the type of people who think otherwise got the nude body scanners stopped back in the day (https://www.wired.com/2013/01/tsa-abandons-nude-scanners/)
Meanwhile it's not clear what it accomplishes to spend time advocating that the slightest pushback on any of this is pointless
Yes and the people who think that vaccines cause autism are now in power trying to kill vaccines…
