> Despite the misleading title, this only applies to "nonimmigrant foreigners." The title leads one to believe it applies to all travelers. The article body specifically disagrees with you: "Now, the DHS is going to be scanning everyone's faces as they board/disembark international flights.". Because they're doing it at disembarking rather than passport control, it will necessarily include all travelers. DHS claims they will later discard US citizen's images ("The DHS swears it won't be retaining face scans of US persons, but apparently never considered limiting the collection to foreign travelers. Instead, the DHS will "collect them all" and supposedly toss out US citizens' scans later."). But in order to identify those people they will still have to do the facial recognition and so will need to have image information on the citizens already. So if you're a US citizen, they'll either identify you via comparison with other data or leave you in the database of scanned information because they could not positively identify you as a US citizen. So indeed it applies to all travelers in some form.
