“I bet the illegals get to bypass the system.”

You’re right. They actually do.

Same for us returning from Scotland and Italy: We passed through customs at EWR so quickly that I thought we had missed a step.

FYI: I recently flew LGA to DEN. At the Terminal B Pre✓ Security, TSA took a photo of my face and then AI apparently, compared it to my ID photo (a US Passport). There was a sign that stated that the photo is deleted within 30 min. I understand that DEN just opened as new security check point that uses the same technology.

Here in Sinaloa, it’s safer than Chicago or Oakland.

I need one of those machines, as I can barely recognize the face I see in the mirror each morning.

"“more convenient airport experience”"

There's just something about smooth pavement that people like.

Might work on a flat image, but LIDAR ignores pigment and contrast and maps DISTANCES instead.

I don’t think they have facial cameras at the state borders on the freeways (yet).

They have them at traffic light controlled intersections.

Those pole cameras are NOT looking at license plates, but right thru the windscreen!

Your phone is constantly talking to the towers, so they pretty much know where you are anyway.

“Your phone is constantly talking to the towers, so they pretty much know where you are anyway.”

A semi adopted son in law enforcement said that most of our cell phones do not send signals if they are not on.

illegals are being flown around our country for free and zero security checks.

These scans would be helpful if we did not have the democrat party.

Yes, by me or my wife’s phone off by her while driving.
