Travelers can opt out of facial recognition at US airports by requesting manual ID verification, though resistance or intimidation may occur.
Facial recognition poses privacy risks, including potential data breaches, misidentification, and normalization of surveillance.
The Algorithmic Justice League's "Freedom Flyers" campaign aims to raise awareness of these issues and encourage passengers to exercise their right to opt out.

I’m okay with the TSA scan (pre-check) since.. you know.. they already have you if you took a picture for your ID.

Those “clear” people however. Who TF thinks it’s a good idea to hand your biometric info to a corp?

As I said. They already have it.

Isn't reducing the size of the dataset worth it? I'd rather them have a picture from three years ago than a new scan every month or two.
