TSA agent tried to bully me into getting my photo taken after I tried to opt-out of the facial recognition software

This morning a TSA agent tried to bully me into getting my photo taken after I tried to opt-out of the facial recognition software that TSA is trying to implement.

Apparently it’s the norm now to get your photo taken on top of giving TSA your ID every time you want to get on a flight.

To add insult to injury, 2 illegals went through TSA right before me and didn’t have to undergo facial recognition.

Your daily reminder that we shouldn’t even have to be opting out of this and forcing Americans into facial recognition before getting on a flight isn’t normal!

A lot of the software development for at least one system was done at Arizona State U, and they used students going to football games as test subjects. However, they quickly discovered that the software was completely skunked when students donned face paint, a common thing at college football games.

So they decided to ban face paint at games. Their excuse was that it was “racist”. The quick response was “What is the ‘green’ and ‘orange’ race?” To which they just shot back “shut up!”

So many students have put a lot of thought into visually invisible face paint that still bollixes up the software, comparable to car license plate covers that foul up red light and speed cameras.

By the time you get to the boarding area you’ve been tagged on a thousand cameras. But illegal invaders, well, it would be racist and xenophobic to do the same.

Just get an exempt plate for your personal auto, and quit complying.
= = =

I do not know about this ‘exempt plate’. Sounds good; what is it?

Try entering into a 7-11 store.

...and yet TSA does not even check the carry-on luggage of flight crews anymore - they only check their IDs. So if a stewardess is roped-in by a ROP type, he can just load a pressure-trigged bumb in her bag, and likely take down a plane. This is even worse than our pre-9/11 security.

Buy one off of the internet, you are a traveler, not a driver. It’s worked for me. We have a right to travel, as long as you don’t describe yourself as a driver or driving. This was in AZ, got my plates yanked because the cop said he saw that I hadn’t changed the plates on my out of state car to AZ plates. I put on a plate I bought off of a online website, continue to drive and the cops haven’t pulled me over in 6 months.

I know, I am crazy, it can never work. It has though.
