Travelers can opt out of facial recognition at US airports by requesting manual ID verification, though resistance or intimidation may occur.
Facial recognition poses privacy risks, including potential data breaches, misidentification, and normalization of surveillance.
The Algorithmic Justice League's "Freedom Flyers" campaign aims to raise awareness of these issues and encourage passengers to exercise their right to opt out.

Facial recognition poses privacy risks, including potential data breaches,

I know you're using the acceptable legal term.

As a Cybersecurity person, the "potential" data breaches we talk about, today, are really pretty certain, at this point, in history.

We may work towards a collective genuine 'potential', where the breach might never happen, someday, with effort.

Turns chair around and sits straddling it like a cool youth mentor.

Y'alls faces at airports are definitely getting leaked on the dark web.

The good news is it might take enough years to leak that your appearance might happen to change in between.
