- BadHumans 2y agoWith TSA precheck, you are just giving the one government agency permission to have data another government agency already has. I wouldn't willing give MasterCard any information about me.

- criddell 2y agoWith TSA precheck, you have to be fingerprinted, no?
- BadHumans 2y agoYes you do.
- toomuchtodo 2y agoYes. State Dept already has my photo from my passport, fingerprints stored by DHS aren’t that much more (Global Entry specific). I trust federal agencies more than private corporations, having seen the inside of both.
- cempaka 2y agoAm I missing something? Aren't fingerprints a form of PII that everyone just leaves lying around on everything they touch? And that the government isn't really permitted to collect & catalog except as part of a criminal investigation (or a few other minor licensing hurdles like selling alcohol)?
