I'm not trying to prove you wrong, but if you have any links, that'd be cool to include.
As an aside, TSA Pre lines just have normal metal detectors. It's worth paying for it just for that IMO.
(It also frankly showcases that this is all dumbass security theater, but whatever)

- monksy 2y agoThere's a massive difference between fingerprints and a model of your face. They're not going to trace my fingerprints to what activity I was up to before flying an airport. You know normal American stuff.. buying porn, accepting political literature, spending too much time in a public bathroom, and then going to the gun store.
