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…

    • You are in good faith equating TSA face scans and body scans with vaccination?

      While at the same time arguing that they already know you're there, already have your picture from your id, and don't need updated pictures for better facial recognition?
