You have the right to opt out of facial recognition tech. Here’s how.
  • Travelers can opt out of facial recognition at US airports by requesting manual ID verification, though resistance or intimidation may occur.
  • Facial recognition poses privacy risks, including potential data breaches, misidentification, and normalization of surveillance.
  • The Algorithmic Justice League’s “Freedom Flyers” campaign aims to raise awareness of these issues and encourage passengers to exercise their right to opt out.

    Yeah, there are two different programs. One is for domestic flights and one is for domestic and international.

    I did the domestic flight one once because it was free with my credit card.

    But I had to fill out some forms and interview in person.

    I only got to use it once because they vip lanes were always closed.

    It’s only worth it if you need to travel a lot.

    Additionally, I’ve never really suffered long lines through airport security.

    The long lines are typically at immigrations and you can’t skip those outside of being a diplomat or private jet rich.
