Well good. They can stop pestering me for real id, preventing me from moving directly to the security line without having to show id, and stop trying to force me into giving up my face model everytime.
Neither does a 3D scan like an iPhone. As far as facial recognition better because it has up to date pictures. This has been solved without up to date pictures for years. My phone can - on device recognize my son from the time he was 9 to today at 25. If my phone can do it on device, do you think this is a hard problem on a server farm?
Yes it’s just as meaningless as putting a cover over your laptop camera, any bad actor that can access your camera can also access your microphone and you can get a lot more information from a microphone.
It's also not clear what this has to do with the TSA taking pictures at the airport. At this point I feel like you're just arguing for the sake of argument
It’s privacy concern theatre without comprehending how good modern facial recognition is from one photo even when running locally on a modern smart phone. The TSA already knows you are on the airplane regardless.
Just like covering up a camera from a bad actor on a laptop does little good compared to the information that can be gleaned by a microphone - the same with a phone.
You are in good faith equating TSA face scans and body scans with vaccination?
While at the same time arguing that they already know you're there, already have your picture from your id, and don't need updated pictures for better facial recognition?
You are being “tracked” that you got on the plane regardless, even your credit card company gets your complete itinerary where you traveled from and to and can (and does) use that for advertising.
Amex even knows whether you used your card on Delta for instance to buy a ticket or pay ancillary fees/drinkd on board. They use the information to see whether you are eligible for a credit (Amex Platinum)
