When it is a government agency preventing my free unrestricted travel I think we should have a higher standard and a better response than "so what"
There are 2 options here,
1. They fail open meaning "security" is compromised and thus pointless
2. They fail closed meaning they will violate the rights of citizens to freely travel or place undue hardship on them because their systems failed putting the traveler through additional "screening"
neither should be acceptable to anyone that values a free society

When biometrics fail, they look at your physical ID
