I saw these installed at a couple airports I was at recently. I opted out myself, but to my horror, 100% of the line, except for me, simply agreed to the facial scan. Even though there are signs in the security line talking about how the new process is a trial with the option to opt out, the TSA agent simply said “step up to the camera” and everyone complied. It felt like I was watching dystopia forming live because people are too ready to accept authority. If a few educated people on hacker news opt out, it means nothing. The practice of invasive biometric scanning will be normalized by the masses who just comply. Just like with other existing security procedures. Soon the scans will be mandatory but also everywhere else in society. I’m not sure what a good defense is against this.
