What about risks from facial recognition in airports? I’m shocked how everyone just says yes and does the scan. That is going to normalize facial recognition everywhere else including rental housing.
When I opt out of TSA nonsense I have to always wait for several minutes in an odd spot like I’m some criminal. It’s certainly awkward and uncomfortable but also I feel like the delay is meant to discourage opting out.
On a recent flight the agent told me that they are changing the rule soon and will start taking you aside (potentially to a room?) for further questioning if you opt out. I didn't verify if they were telling the truth or what the current status is.
Flying out of LGA once and opting out of the body scanners, while I was being patted down, another TSA agent watched from about 20 feet away and kept doing "kissy" faces at me until it was over.
Sounds like I'm in the minority here, but last time I flew there was a sign right next to the scanner reminding me I could opt out and I did opt out. The agent compared my photo ID to my boarding pass and professionally waved me through with no eye rolls or delay.
