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?
They want to scan so they can refuse flights to non-fascists.
It’s as simple as that. They want to police your very existence.
The problem with that is that you generally have to fly with an ID and a name; a name you need to provide when buying plane tickets.
I don’t see how the face scan let’s them do anything beyond what they already can.
