> Great news, but I want to get rid of those face recognition border-pass less gates by airports. I have not yet had to deal with that, but CBP tries very hard to capture your facial biometrics when you cross the US border. FYI, US citizens are not required to use those kiosks with the facial biometric scanners. You can simply present yourself directly to a CBP officer with your passport and completed Form 6059B and they must admit you. The most recent time I entered the US, CBP insisted repeatedly that they had to use facial biometrics in order to assess the validity of my claim to US citizenship (i.e., to authenticate me against my passport) and that without submitting they would not admit me into the country. I refused, as CBP has neither the constitutional nor the statutory authority to seize my biometrics. In the end, the CBP supervisor went into his office, presumably called CBP lawyers, and then one particularly dull CBP officer did a literally minute long theatrical hexadecimal-take looking back and forth at my face and at my passport photo. Again, CBP tries really hard to collect all the data they can, and they do everything possible, including outright lying and threatening, to make people think they just have to go along with it. If you're a US citizen, you don't, and I encourage you to join me in resisting their tyranny-building.
