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!

I’ve always opted out without an issue.

I let them take my photo. I figured, they already have my driver's license photo, and probably some other photos of me. No point in creating a hassle.

I do always opt-out of the machine. But that's health reasons.

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

It’s insane. Everyone knows that foreign countries emptied their prisons and mental institutions and sent those people into the United States. If anyone should be getting the facial recognition treatment, it should be the foreigners, not U.S. citizens.

They already captured your image 637 times before you even got to the escalator. Giving you the impression that you have some sort of control and resistance from fedzilla over your life is sort of their comedy act.

When you step into the commercial aviation area of an airport, and particularly when you enter the secure area, you are in de facto federal custody. Whatever you would resist in a federal detention facility, you have about the same right to resist in an airport.

Only difference is airports are voluntary. That’s why I drive when I can.

I won’t fly, just because of the so called security, and the anal exam. January 1 2025, you will need a passport to travel in the country by plane, likely trains and busses too. In fact, the Real ID will be what your Drivers license is, a passport to travel in the United States.

Join me, you do not need a drivers license to travel, or to travel by personal automobile. Just get an exempt plate for your personal auto, and quit complying.

NO, we comply...and we all worry about our God given Rights.

Mutton gonna mutter, I like it. Then we SCREAM about losing our RIGHTS, when we give them away with every action.

Glad the founders didn’t feel this way.

“and the anal exam.”

Look, just let ‘em do it. Why make a hassle?

It’s probably just to keep you and others safe by checking for COVID.

If that’s the case, why do they insist on getting that photo?

I have always opted out, without a problem.

Just did so again a couple months ago.

They get to see your driver’s license, instead.

The TSA is creating the hassle not me. I paid my ticket with appropriate taxes and fee’s, my taxes pay for the building, and upkeep of the airport, my taxes pay for the TSA agents salaries so sure pull me over and now tell me I gotta submit to a little more BS. Enough is enough.

There is a difference between taking a picture, and forcing you into a scan that gives them a picture of your eye into your retina. People use them to open their so called phones....tracking devices.... Fingerprints too.

They likely can identify us by our unique shaped sphincter, that is how intrusive our government is.
