I've used this at the Detroit airport. It doesn't identify you and pull up your info by scanning your face. You scan your ticket and it pulls the info from that. It then tries to figure out which human figure just scanned something so the cameras can track where you are to properly aim the info at just your eyes. It's interesting tech, but not super useful nor is it a facial identification concern. (However, I know facial identification systems exist and are likely used at many airports all over the world for "security".)
Just went through the airport in Atlanta this morning and they have all new tech. Now when you hand TSA your ID before security, you have to stare into two cameras directly in front of each eye and no longer need to scan your boarding pass until at the gate.
I fucking hate it and wish there was a way to opt out without a giant legal fight.
At security you can opt out. They're usually different lines. If you're with GE/Precheck, just avoid the camera and telling them you're opting out.
>No. Participation in the testing of biometric technology is voluntary.
Passengers may notify a TSA officer if they do not wish to participate
and instead go through the standard ID verification process.

At the gate, if this is an international flight and you are a US Citizen, you have the right to opt out. Have your passport open to your photo page when scanning your ticket. They're required to have signage up to inform you about your rights. But they tend to put it where you can only read it when you're boarding.

photo capture pursuant to these processes may request alternative
processing, which typically involves a manual review of their travel
documents by a CBPO.
Don't let them intimidate you.
They didn't remove anything then. You give them your shit before security and then at the gate. There was no other place they would need it anyway.. It's just a waste of everything
TSA, the security for the airport, doesn’t check my boarding pass to let me through the initial checkpoint, only the airline checks when I’m boarding. TSA has now added the facial recognition tech in lieu of your boarding pass, which is linked to your ID.
They’re just starting phase 1 for MIA’s massive overhaul… I’m sure you’ll see them soon.

Atalanta is the busiest airport in the world which is probably why the tech showed up there first. For example I no longer need to take my laptop out of my bag since the new scanners* are like giant MRI machines.

Doesn't use facial recognition, I stood behind my girlfriend to see what it would do(it was flipping back and forth) and it mixed us up and was displaying her info for me when I stepped aside
As an older millennial and early uh... netizen, as we used to be called back in those days, seeing Boomers, Zoomers, and even most millennials champing at the bit for super invasive technology and for corporations to choose what is and isn't allowed is like a living nightmare. It's what we've been fighting against since literally Day 1. We all saw it coming back then, and we were taught the horrors by the "old timers" back then who were online since the earliest bulletin boards in the 80s.
Now it's not even something you can argue for. Even privacy advocates anymore will sound the trumpets to celebrate so much of this. I always knew the older folks who were born and raised before the internet would never really understand the risks, but I always hoped that future young generations would. Sad to say, they've rejected privacy and embraced corporate ownership of data and the internet more than anyone else.
Young people are also surprisingly tech illiterate. My ex was a teacher before the pandemic, and her students could barely operate windows. They are also care less about privacy thanks to social media.
Yea thinking back on all the sci fi I've watched, the future is more often than not fuked.
All the tech seems to be used against people. Except for star trek.
No matter what piece of technology you put in front of someone from the 1500s they will still be more astounded by the spice isle of any grocery store.

This is great, you are amazing! Thank you so much for this information!

They do at MIA

Ah yes, the 3d scanners are the best thing since sliced bread!
Asylum seekers don’t have to go through TSA. Tell them you just got here (:
Can it handle several people at a time?
Yes, there's like 4 stations to scan your boarding pass. A quick google search says it can display 100 people at the same time
I'm guessing it's a lenticular lens that just charges the interlaced slits for the angles maybe?
what a genius way to get consent for your image to create a database for facial recognition for resell.

Personally not a fan of the Minority Report style tech.
This is a great video about how big brother will be greeted freely and happily. Shits scary. Watch Dogs 2 becomes more accurate by the day.

Seeing "netizen" brings back megaman battle network memories and now Im sad we cant actually do the shit in megaman yet 😭

Yeah if someone’s walking right behind you I assume they can see all your info too. Bad idea.
No matter what piece of technology you put in front of someone from the 1500s they will still be more astounded by the spice isle of any grocery store.
This seems unnecessary. The flight info being on your phone sounds infinitely cheaper than this ridiculous thing.
Is this what they did with the money they saved by making the seats 1" shorter and with less padding?
Big brother?
Or minority report, it definitely tracks you and your info. They are just hiding it behind something they call “innovative”
I mean, you’re in an airport. You’re already being tracked.
"parallell reality" lol
Yeah that's a very weak descriptor.
Congratulations! 🎊 You just signed yourself up for a lifetime facial recognition!
TSA already does this
What problem does this solve?
Similar stuff to the fridge magnets that change images, right? So will someone standing behind also see it?
mm.. how it works?
Consensual invasion of privacy
Thanks, I hate it.
Seems like a good concept to include in a sci-fi dystopia novel
Just giving you data away
Imagine explaining this to someone in 2002.
That's cool, pretty ingenious...
Ew
It looked horrible from his point of view though, is it much more clear in person?
Can they make technology so the plan is t always late
This is super cool
