TSA is quietly rolling out facial recognition tech to 400 US airports in coming years... so is YOURS on the list?

Americans will soon be subjected to facial recognition screening in airports as a new program that is quietly rolling out the technology to 400 locations across the US. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is'in the beginning stages of integrating automated facial recognition capability' to current systems that scan flyers' credentials but won't be fully operational until 2030 or 2040. The upgrade, which claims to capture'minimum data' will match the traveler's face to their identification document, flight status and vetting status - and the facial recognition system is already used at 25 airports. While TSA touts the program as a way to'improve security effectiveness and efficiency,' US government officials have called it'a precursor to a full-blown national surveillance state.' Americans will soon be subjected to facial recognition screening in airports as a new program that is quietly rolling out the technology to 400 locations across the US.
