I go through TSA now at places they don’t have facial recognition: they take my government issued ID with a picture and compare it to another picture they have on file. I have to hand them my ID and scan my boarding pass. In the places they have facial recognition, I stand in front of a camera and I don’t have to fumble with my ID or my phone with a boarding pass. Even if you don’t have TSA PreCheck, you still have to give your government issued ID with your picture to the TSA Agent and even before then if you have checked luggage, to the person checking your luggage. Your picture is in the system in so many places now. > if the TSA can use some new technology to scan people more efficiently, it doesn't really matter what they say their intentions are; they will, inevitably, use that technology to scan more people, in more places, more of the time. That is the expansion; let's stop it before it starts, eh? Where is the TSA going to scan people outside of the airport? The facial recognition technology they use required you to be right in front of a camera. The government agencies that you need to worry about - FBI, Homeland security, the local police already have much better surveillance/facial recognition technology and access to a much larger database of everyone’s picture.
