My privacy-related concern is that historically, surveillance data tends to be kept for long periods of time and used for purposes other than what it was collected for. My other concern is that I don't really welcome immigration officials having any more tools, giving how they're abusing the tools they already have.

That's a very fair and real concern, given "Synthesis Centers" and somewhat frequent allegations of parallel construction.

I suppose the proper answer is "Unfuck our security apparatus" but absent that, I see how abstaining from extremely abusable tools, e.g. this facial recognition, is a reasonable response.
