The article says otherwise.
- Rebelgecko 7y agoI'm fairly sure the article is wrong. I looked at 3 of the sources they link (Delta, Jet Blue, and the ZDnet article), and they say that the "biometric exit program" is only for flights entering or leaving the US. The TSA has their own facial recognition program that is being trialed, but currently I believe it's still only for international flights and they don't say anything about requiring a passport for domestic flights. In the past, their biometric stuff has been only opt-in, and if you don't even want the possibility of being asked to opt in, all you have to do is get in the regular security line since the TSA is only testing on people using precheck. https://www.cbp.gov/travel/biometrics/biometric-exit-faqs https://www.cbp.gov/travel/biometrics/biometric-exit-faqs https://www.tsa.gov/news/releases/2018/10/15/tsa-releases-roadmap-expanding-biometrics-technology https://www.tsa.gov/news/releases/2018/10/15/tsa-releases-ro...
