At Immigration: Scanned, no, Photographed, yes. (So depending on your definition) At TSA, They scan the first page of passport (or local ID) and usually Full body scan. So in the strict sense of facially scanned no. At the gate (until now),

I’m not certain of the particular setup here (per airport thing) but I’ve never had them scan my passport at the gate in a US Airport, only at Immigration checkpoints for international travel and TSA. This is especially true for domestic tr

The point this article misses entirely is that the Facial recognition system is now at the gate which is ostensibly Delta’s territory. It isn’t US Boarder Control running the facial control system, its Delta, Southwest, or anyone else, whic

Yeh that's unfortuante but it is normal for box's API. This isn't Google being overly grabby, its the only scope available to third party read and writing to box. The API scope doesn't have any knowledge of individual fi

It's not up to me as a reader to prove whether they are lying or not. As a writer you either have integrity and assume your audience is knowledgeable and skeptical of unverifiable claims or you can exploit the fact that they aren'

If the DNS client has a pinned certificate/key this would break the MiTM/Middleware. But remember that you're only using the TLS connection for the DNS question and answer, so if you choose something like cloudflare/goog

You're making claims that are entirely unsupported by anything you've provided or said. The paper linked makes the claim towards the failure of academic economics failing to predict the Financial crisis of 2008, not science. (Thi

IANAL but I think you're safe to bring it on board. SEC. 534 from https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/4/te... just seeks to classify E-cigs in the same class as traditional cigar

Typically yes. This is base hardening. The usual vulnerabilities can be just default configuration options or unwanted firmware/software features. Similarly no security team is going to say "There are no vulnerabilities in the ser

Agreed, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. The statement is the "Driver no longer works for waymo" not that "they were fired for the incident.". That feels somewhat deliberate choice of words to me.

I looked in to it a while ago, but none except for portability. The Nano's are designed to take up a USB slot and be semi-permanent in there. That is, they can be removed, but its not as easy as removing a normal USB key. Either good g

I think you've hit on the core of the problem but the solution is always skated around. "But in games you are forced to interact, either as co-op or opponent." The typical response here is to give players a greater degree of
