They always say "most" of the face data will be destroyed, yea right. First it's in the airports then it is everywhere and we are living under Big Brother.

"As possible record-setting crowds fill airports nationwide, passengers may encounter new technology at the security line. At 25 airports in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, the TSA is expanding a controversial digital identification program that uses facial recognition.

...

"We view this as better for security, much more efficient, because the image capture is fast and you'll save several seconds, if not a minute," said TSA Administrator David Pekoske.

Most images are deleted after use, but some information is encrypted and retained for up to 24 months as part of the ongoing review of how the technology performs."



 
Some with DHS, CBP, and others. Local police will do it too. And even if they don't have their own specially developed database, they will probably be able to just buy facial recognition data from 3rd parties.

We live in a surveillance world and there is no going back. But I think it's still good that people like you and others are standing up to this and saying we don't like it.
 
For what purpose exactly?

If treated criminals and nutballs like what they are then there is no need for this.

And this will lead to more intrusion in our lives. This is how everything starts, innocent and small. Fast forward and you can't even stop at a gas station to take a piss without being recorded from 9 different angles.

The vast majority of Americans are just ordinary people, this is completely unnecessary and in the end will only serve to harm and impose on ordinary people.
 
If the TSA can ID terrorists and criminals before they get on planes, that is a good thing.

I don't see any bad things listed.

Most people have their faces all over Facebook without a second thought.
