As an aside, I've been using TSA Touchless at select airports.

It's pretty slick.

No ID, nor Board Pass needed.

Just walk up to TSA, and only facial recognition is needed. It's extremely fast too.

Now that we’ve got ice walking around with an app that uses facial recognition to determine if you’re a citizen, fuck the facial recognition stuff. This tech should be out of government hands.

When I was in LAX last week, facial recognition on entry was only for US citizens anyway, and for it to work they need to take a photo of you when you're leaving. I don't see how it helps ICE in any way, plus it's handled by CBP.

Also, it didn't work on me, because I left clean shaved and returned with a beard.
