Just think: if we get used to getting our faces scanned to get on a plane, how long before we get our faces scanned to go to the doctor or buy groceries or for our kid to go to school?

Ubiquitous facial recognition technologies create a world where there is literally NO privacy. Governments, corporations, and law enforcement can track your every move without your consent. Automated and detailed profiles about you, about everywhere you go, and about everyone you associate with could be housed in databases with little to no security measures. The spread of untested and biased facial recognition technology in airports makes us less safe, not more safe.

Facial recognition is so controversial that San Francisco already banned it, and there is growing bipartisan agreement in Congress to ban or pause it at the federal level.
