Not disagreeing with you or the OP about anything, but then this just raises the question for me of why not use facial recognition to screen against a no fly database (negative screen) than to verify identity (positive screen)? Or restrict it to trusted traveler on an opt-in basis? The TSA approach and security paradigm in general seems poorly thought out and misguided to me sometimes.
