TSA was intentionally designed from day #1 to cause so much of a burden that people would willingly give up absolutely everything with regards to personal privacy in exchange for saving time.
- eplanit 6y agoRemoving a face mask for a few seconds so that a person or algorithm can compare the person's visage to that of their ID is "giving up absolutely everything with regards to personal privacy"?
- altdatathrow 6y agoTSA has been around for nearly 20 years. It's not about a face mask. It's about how if you wanted to bypass the excruciatingly slow and invasive TSA checkpoints, you need https://www.tsa.gov/precheck https://www.tsa.gov/precheck or https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-entry https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-... which involve extremely thorough background checks. You sacrifice personal privacy in exchange for saving time. TSA has been a global people-tracking effort from the beginning through security theater. This is simply the latest addition to their repertoire.
