TSA has put some important constraints on its use of facial recognition — but its current programs are just the beginning.
No, you don’t have to participate in facial recognition at the airport. Whether you’ll feel like you have a real choice is a separate question.
This system is for general passenger security screening. You step up to the travel document checker kiosk and stick your ID into a machine. Then you look into a camera for up to five seconds and the machine compares your live photo to the one it sees on your ID. They call this a “one to one” verification system, comparing one face to one ID. Even though the software is judging if you’re an impostor, there’s still a human agent there to make the final call (at least for now).
So how accurate is it? The TSA says it’s been better at verifying IDs than the manual process. “This technology is definitely a security enhancement,” Lim said. “We are so far very satisfied with the performance of the machine’s ability to conduct facial recognition accurately.
“No one should worry about being misidentified."
TSA already has a plan to expand the scope of how it’s using the tech. It’s running a pilot of a second system at a few airports where you don’t even have to present your physical ID for inspection. Your face is your ID.

We keep neither the live photo nor the photo of the ID,”

Said so emphatically indicates a lie.
“WE” don’t keep it.
We send it to China to keep.
Not the fake IDs sold by corrupt government employees. They are as real as any Real ID, except they aren't.
Here is an example from NH of some people that got caught after years of selling fake licenses.
There is already a massive database of face pictures. Each state’s DMV records.

Probably low resolution, and out of date.
Except if the data was publicly available, instead of just owned by the government then the same kind of system would apply to everyone, including anyone who might want to have a similar, parallel system.
In the future you can pick your own name so improvements are coming

Fortunately I have a right to never even go to an airport.
Which I have done only once since (soon after) the formation of the TSA Gestapo... and after that first time, I swore never to even go onto commercial airport property, much less into the buildings.
Sigh...
The terminal is FULL of cameras now!
Why do they need another one at the checkin place?
Then there is no need to take it!
What arethey going to compare your image to?
Duh, one that they already have on file!
I hope it was 'strongly worded'!
You mean that old fingerprints stored in safe memory can't be erased?
Heck, I’ve had a real person hand me back too much change and I could not return it.
never?
when all the commsats go down at once folks will be knocking at your door.
Watch your mouth ma'am. This is a family forum.
But at least we’ll all be safe from global warming and man-bear-pig.
I would love to see voting be in person only and facial ID used.
No more ID is racist, and if someone is not a citizen, proof of the crime is right there. AND, best of all, we run a warrant check and have a paddy wagon right on site...
Can one refuse?
The Boeing interruptible something something? Real, but no American is evil enough to use it to advance their power. We are on the side of Jesus, not Ba’al./s\
I would be willing to bet Muslims aren’t forced to remove their coverings.
