For years, I resisted TSA Pre check on principle, even though I was a frequent traveler. I finally relented when I realized there were places like Thailand that force you to give your biometrics, and almost certainly sell them back to shadowy US agencies.

So while they might share that biometric data with US government agencies, it seems more likely to me that at least one identity theft racket has acquired some of it.
- jonasdegendt 1y ago> places like Thailand that force you to give your biometrics You're being returned the favor! Anyone that's ever entered the US has had to do the same, and our prints are being stored in a DHS database. Out of curiosity, did you not need to provide prints to get a passport in the first place? I can't image a single developed country without biometric passports.
