TSA Facial Recognition Scans

Next time you’re at airport security, get ready to look straight into a camera. The TSA wants to analyze your face. The Transportation Security Administration has been quietly testing controversial facial recognition technology for passenger screening at 16 major domestic airports — from Washington to Los Angeles — and hopes to expand it across the United States as soon as next year. Kiosks with cameras are doing a job that used to be completed by humans: checking the photos on travelers’ IDs to make sure they’re not impostors. So I quizzed the TSA’s Jason Lim, who helps run the program formally known as Credential Authentication Technology with Camera (CAT-2). And I also called Albert Fox Cahn, the founder of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, or STOP, and one of the biggest critics of facial recognition.

I learned the TSA has put some important constraints on its use of facial recognition — but its current programs are just the beginning.

No, you don’t have to participate in facial recognition at the airport. Whether you’ll feel like you have a real choice is a separate question.



Careful when you fly.

Good thing I don't plan on flying anytime soon.

I can't Fly.

I can't Fly.

Nor I. Believe me, I tried when I was 8. Flapped my little arms for all they were worth. Bupkis. Very disappointing, I must say.

Hey Matt!

Remember when we were saying that the heightened security would not be temporary, that the civil liberties violations would increase, and that what should have been completely unacceptable and that we shouldn't allow TSA to do at all would in time become the new normal? Those were the days
