The TSA plans to take facial recognition technology nationwide

प्रस्तुत
 
The Transportation Security Administration has been testing facial recognition technology as an option for travelers at select U.S. airports for years, touting it as a way to speed up identity verification at security. But now, the federal agency is poised to implement the system nationwide, causing alarm for privacy advocates and other critics who say the facial scanning systems bring a flurry of concerns.

Once the covid shut down was eased, we have been on six or seven cruises and on all of them we are reqdmitted to the US port quickly by TSA with a quick facial scan. It has been going on for about 18 months.

Six or seven cruises? Do they still make passengers wear the face diaper?

I suspect CBP is using this technology already. I passed through customs in Ft. Lauderdale 12/2. When I approached the agent, I laid my unopened passport down on the passthru' area of the plastic shielding around the agent's work area. He took it and laid it down on his desk, still unopened. He adjusted a small camera clipped to the clear shielding around his work area, a light blinked on the camera and he looked down at his workstation screen. In a few moments, he looked up at me, and then back at the screen. He handed me back my passport still unopened and waved me through. Obviously, the Ministry of Truth is not tracking our every movement. It's just our imagination.

Not sure about the US, but Canadian passports have a chip in them.

US Passports have been chipped since 2007.

Hell, every time you fly, the TSA is now scanning passports and the new (and old) driver licences. Those pictures ARE good enough for facial recognition. The government now knows where and when we fly...er...a....well, I guess they are probably already linked into the airlines passenger lists even for domestic flights. We're screwed as a free country...

The future. Scanning of faces, checking body temps at the door as you enter stores, the camera's on every street corner, in stores, every movement tracked by the device you call a cell phone. Welcome to the future. Conspiracy theories.....not it will all be done in the name of keeping the public safe and the public will buy into it.

Case in point: In 1984 my dad visited our relative in Russia/Ukraine: He wrote to me about checkpoints he had to encounter on his drive from Moscow Airport to our relative's farmland. His letter read exactly like our DUI checkpoints in today's safety checks. Every fourth or fifth car, look at the documents, and wave you through or pull you over for further inspection.

Remember it's all in the name of safety.

Interestingly that was 1984 as it makes me think of the movie.

US spends billions on facial recognition and then tells everyone they should, or even worse, must wear a mask. We are brilliant bunch.

The truth of the matter is that there are faster, 100% reliable, methods for passenger screening that do not require databases. Two things keep them from being implemented. 1) the original Homeland Security Bill had a Pork Clause that requires all new security methods to be tested in a particular congressional district. This keeps advanced technologies from proper vetting. 2) The govt can’t help itself. They are tied to the idea of controlling populations by central DB’s than can be used for more than the intended (read: publicly justified) purposes.

Funny how the USA Stasi is going after American citizens yet the Mexican border leaks like a sieve with 14,000 illegals every single day. Where is the facial recognition cameras?

But you know a lot of those hispanics are catholic, could be a good source of new conservative voters once they are legal citizens, an influx of new conservative voters. And new citizens tend to be enthusiastic about getting out and voting.

If any U.S. citizen thinks they have privacy in the United States, they're sorely mistaken. Now illegals, that's a different story.

They have Carte Blanche! Nice hotels, meals, air transportation to cities around the country. Meanwhile Bugs Biden is keeping tabs on American citizens. Spooky shit going on out there, spooky!

Works fantastic at LAX. Short lines and whisked through customs quickly. This is the way it's supposed to work..

One time, on a driving trip northwest of Reno, I approached the NV-CA border. There was a sign in the road that said "SLOW - AGRICULTURE INSPECTION." I came to a stop next to a Sheriff's cruiser in the middle of the road, pointed the other way.
He said, "Do you have any vegetables in the car?"
Me: "No."
Him: "OK, carry on."

The government is on your side and there to protect you, not track you or remove your privacy or any rights and merely turn you into a number to control, don't be silly.
They've been shoving it in our faces for decades and the lemmings keep jumping off the cliff.
9/11 occurred and we immediately got an increase in our rights, didn't we.
Of course they aren't destroying the country, just google it on your phone

Funny thing is……all this started after 9/11. So my question is. Where was the government and what were they doing on 9/10? And weeks before. Asleep at the wheel. Seems its always a catch up game with them, in the name of “our safety” I remember seeing citizens jumping from the World Trade Center, how safe was that? So now we tilt to the other end. Cameras on every street corner, stop and question by police, just because. A growing police state, taking a chapter from China’s book.

Is that a rhetorical questions or have you really not figured it out yet?

The patriot act was written long before 911.

There was a global pandemic exercise just three months before we had one, sponsored by Bill Gates.

There was an extensive "future scenario" put out by the Rockefeller institute in 2010, describing a global pandemic that would necessitate the shutdown of society, mandatory masks and vaccines and more government control.

A patent for a methodology of detecting "Covid19" (exact name) was issued in 2015.

There was a monkey pox exercise exactly one year to the week before an actual monkey pox "outbreak". It predicted the date of the first case to within two days.

Wouldn't that require them to have a copy of youre image to begin with? How do they get that. DMV pics are not high enough quality and I aint gonna give it to them.

Images are required for a US passport, so no international flights for you.
