I'm very conflicted about this. And I'm actually sitting at my gate while typing this, in an uncharacteristically busy terminal, where I'm suddenly so very urgently aware about the risks of large crowds at airports and such. Conflicted because it does make sense to me that tracking people in facilities like this could help with safety and security. I have no principled problem with my picture being taken. But I wouldn't want it to be abused, for sure. So... is it the secondary uses, like marketing and totalitarian uses (never thought that'd go in one sentence) that I'm worried about? Or should I be worried about it anyway? Does the distinction matter? Is distinguishing between the two possible? Realistic? ... CONFUSED!
- keiferski 8y agoThere are large crowds of people in every city on planet Earth. Do you want a security check to be required to be out in public?
- sverhagen 8y agoAirlines have traditionally been targets for terrorism. For other concentrations of people like pop concerts the same may apply. Or in any case, those already have had security measures for a while beyond just some town's busy downtown. But I don't know what I want. I'm probably mostly saying that it's not a black or white matter for me.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y ago> Airlines have traditionally been targets for terrorism. Orders of magnitude more terrorist attacks are targeted at crowds of people "out in the open" in cities than at airlines.
