Airport is about the only places that I have no problem with being Facial Recognition as long as the data is correctly handled because it contributes to the safety of so many parties.
What is your limit? What about handing over all your social accounts? fingerprints, DNA , it seems that gradually if a thing can be done it will be done. 2
Can you wear a mask while they do the passport scan? They need know how you look like so they can match the picture with the passport... using a computer or a human.
That is fine if it would be the same, but your biometric data is stored in a database, I would be fine with scan the passport , scan the person, check if it matches, if all is fine delete the biometric data and not put it in a database.
If there is a good reason to keep this data in a database let me know.
The passport is in your hand, you place it on the table where it can be scanned and compared with your face. If they have your face in the database can you travel without a physical passport?
So you could just use a fake passport? Yeah to tell you the truth, I'm not sure why a passport is required... Just like driver licenses and tag registrations, they have all the information on their computers.
