He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”
Opting out how? They have automatically-assembled video footage of you from the moment you stepped out of the vehicle you took to the airport up until the moment you walked off the jetway onto your flight.
Oh, that’s true, but I’m talking about the direct face scan they do at the security line, which you have the right to opt out of.
There’s still a big difference between security camera shots at a distance with random lighting and a specifically designed face scanning camera pointed directly at your face from two feet away with good lighting.
“Opt Out” is basically just a “Pweeese don’t scan my face 🥺”, it doesn’t have legal weight, I mean this admin doesn’t really follow rules anymore.
No, in this case it literally means you don’t stand in front of the face scanner and have your face scanned. I’m talking about going through the airport security line, where they have the face scanner device.
I wish I shared your optimism, but I’ve seen what cameras are capable of seeing from literal miles away, if enough money is spent. I guess it comes down to weather or not any of the uncountable trillions of dollars the pentagon won’t let you audit have been spent on cameras specifically meant to surreptitiously capture your face from across the room when you “opt out”.
