TSA Rolls Out More Facial Recognition At Major Airports

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is completely unlawful from its inception.  Yet, it is nothing more than a constant tyranny against the American people in violation of their own Constitution and the laws of God Himself under His King, Jesus.  Daily this gang of criminals violate the rights of the people by illegally searching and even seizing (stealing) people’s property.  Now, they are rolling out more of their tyranny in the form of facial recognition devices at major US airports.

Technocracy.news has the story.

What TSA started as a pilot program during the Great Panic of 2020, is now being rolled out to major airports across America. The Total Surveillance Society being pushed by Technocrats in Big Tech and government will continue until a full-blown scientific dictatorship.Of course, the TSA claims that digital identity information will be deleted after a flight. For well over 50 years, government agencies have repeatedly and consistently lied about not collecting data. ⁃ TN Editor

 

A passenger walks up to an airport security checkpoint, slips an ID card into a slot and looks into a camera atop a small screen. The screen flashes “Photo Complete” and the person walks through — all without having to hand over their identification to the TSA officer sitting behind the screen.

It’s all part of a pilot project by the Transportation Security Administration to assess the use of facial recognition technology at a number of airports across the country.

 

“What we are trying to do with this is aid the officers to actually determine that you are who you say who you are,” said Jason Lim, identity management capabilities manager, during a demonstration of the technology to reporters at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.

The effort comes at a time when the use of various forms of technology to enhance security and streamline procedures is only increasing. TSA says the pilot is voluntary and accurate, but critics have raised concerns about questions of bias in facial recognition technology and possible repercussions for passengers who want to opt out.

The technology is currently in 16 airports. In addition to Baltimore, it’s being used at Reagan National near Washington, D.C., airports in Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, San Jose, and Gulfport-Biloxi and Jackson in Mississippi. However, it’s not at every TSA checkpoint so not every traveler going through those airports would necessarily experience it.

Travelers put their driver’s license into a slot that reads the card or place their passport photo against a card reader. Then they look at a camera on a screen about the size of an iPad, which captures their image and compares it to their ID. The technology is both checking to make sure the people at the airport match the ID they present and that the identification is in fact real. A TSA officer is still there and signs off on the screening.

A small sign alerts travelers that their photo will be taken as part of the pilot and that they can opt out if they’d like. It also includes a QR code for them to get more information.

Since it’s come out the pilot has come under scrutiny by some elected officials and privacy advocates. In a February letter to TSA, five senators — four Democrats and an Independent who is part of the Democratic caucus — demanded the agency stop the program, saying: “Increasing biometric surveillance of Americans by the government represents a risk to civil liberties and privacy rights.”
