Senate bill aims to stop Uncle Sam using facial recognition at airports / Legislation would eliminate TSA permission to use the tech, require database purge in 90 days::Legislation would eliminate TSA permission to use the tech, require database purge in 90 days
Chances of this bill becoming a law are less than 0%
i long for a day when i see a policy proposal that i like and then think it has a good chance of getting passed
Once upon a time, an artist has performed this at a train station in my city:
He walked up in front of one of the surveillance cameras, where it is known that they use face recognition all the time.
He was wearing a rubber mask resembling a human face, in good quality. (Side note: it is forbidden to go there with your face covered.)
This mask was looking like his own face.
Now the question is, has the camera seen his face, or not?
No facial recognition? That’s fine. They still have the scanner that sees you naked. They can set up genital recognition systems instead.
I travelled recently, and was filled with disgust when I was told to scan my boarding pass and look into the camera to get in line. I would have asked to go through an alternative line but didn’t want to miss my flight.
What the fuck is wrong with people
I recently took a cruise to Mexico, when we returned the customs line was very quick because of this technology. It scanned my face it and gave me a green light and I moved along.
Since we were on a dedicated ship to one port I didn’t even get the where are you coming from and going to questions.
You must not be brown. This kind of technology is often very racist because of training data.
To be honest no one did since it was just a three-day to Mexico and only one port of call everyone was just shuffle through.
I’m not saying it can’t be miss used, or that new tech is often riddled with issues. I appreciate not having to wait three hours to get through customs.
I can’t imagine offloading one of the new 8000 passenger ships without this.
