TSA says this is an optional program for travelers on domestic flights, while some foreign nationals may have to participate to be allowed on international flights.
Theoretically, there should be visible signage that notifies travelers they can proceed through airport security without doing the facial scan. In reality, not everyone will see the sign ― and it might not be in a language that a traveler understands.
I am one of the travelers who’s been agreeing to get my face scanned in airport security lines for years. But amid alarming reports of travelers experiencing bad treatment from border control officials, I’m reconsidering whether I should be submitting a face scan so easily to the U.S. government.
Sure would be a sad thing if the TSA was completely dismantled by DOGE bullshit. Where else can I get a complementary rectal exam with a bunch of strangers without etiquette dictating that I at least offer to return the favor?
If DOGE did that something else that is probably even worse would fill the void.
