> meaningless as putting a cover over your laptop camera I don't think anyone ever shared a naked picture taken with a microphone (semi-related: https://www.yahoo.com/news/tsa-backlash-grows-over-leaked-body-scans-many.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/tsa-backlash-grows-over-leaked-bo...). I don't think it's terribly rare to join a meeting not realizing that the camera option was still on (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13240957/Zoom-view-humiliating-webcam-chats-naked-shower-livestreamed-funeral.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13240957/Zoom-view-...) It's also not clear what this has to do with the TSA taking pictures at the airport. At this point I feel like you're just arguing for the sake of argument

It’s privacy concern theatre without comprehending how good modern facial recognition is from one photo even when running locally on a modern smart phone. The TSA already knows you are on the airplane regardless. Just like covering up a camera from a bad actor on a laptop does little good compared to the information that can be gleaned by a microphone - the same with a phone.

      You are in good faith equating TSA face scans and body scans with vaccination? While at the same time arguing that they already know you're there, already have your picture from your id, and don't need updated pictures for better facial recognition?

        Yes it’s both as illogical and neither is based on facts on the ground
