TSA tests facial recognition technology at more airports.
“I think it’s a great idea. I’m absolutely tech-forward,” said passenger Brittany Bowens, traveling from Atlanta.
The latest additions are among the nation’s busiest — Denver, Las Vegas, Dallas-Fort Worth and Atlanta. Here’s how it works: Walk up to the machine, put your ID in the reader, and that photo is matched with what the camera sees live. “Quite frankly, it’s not doing anything to help the public.” Cahn said. “This technology is going to screw it up. And people are going to end up being detained by TSA. They’re going to be faced with even more surveillance and more invasions of their privacy, just because an algorithm gets it wrong.”
Signs in security lines show when you are about to be part of this test. You can even ask to opt out and have an agent confirm your ID manually.“There has to be some kind of parameter in terms of privacy,” said Geraldine Thompson, traveling from Orlando. The TSA said that will not impact its pilot program as it looks toward an in-your-face approach to safety.
