Traveling this summer? Maybe don’t let the airport scan your face. - eviltoast
You have the right to opt out of facial recognition tech. Here’s how.
  • Travelers can opt out of facial recognition at US airports by requesting manual ID verification, though resistance or intimidation may occur.
  • Facial recognition poses privacy risks, including potential data breaches, misidentification, and normalization of surveillance.
  • The Algorithmic Justice League’s “Freedom Flyers” campaign aims to raise awareness of these issues and encourage passengers to exercise their right to opt out.

    Yeah, because just adding high-res cameras is not good enough.
    They will need a good quality data transfer network with it and also have to use higher powered computers for data processing, to get whatever they want out of those videos.

    They might even have to pay *shriek* C++ devs to rewrite their Python prototype into a more efficient production code (and considering how hard it is to find devs that actually know what they are doing…).
