Agreed, and that seems like a good argument.
Which is why it's so strange to say that one of the greatest risks of the TSA's program is that they could do a totally different program in the future. It's literally like saying that going to the gym is risky because you might get into BASE jumping.
There are better arguments. Hence, this piece is weak.
- ang_cire 3y agoThat is one of the greatest risks, because while you may agree to give them your biometrics for air travel, you may not agree to do it for another purpose, but it's too late at the point where they already have it. It effectively means that if I don't want them to potentially give it to LEOs, I have to opt out of any services they are gatekeeping behind it. That's not a slippery slope argument, it's an argument that there is no way for me to review how the information they collect is actually being used.
