I mean, I just flew Delta from JFK and to board I had to use a face scanner at the gate .... instead of just scanning my ticket. There didn't appear to be a way to opt out at the time, and with a few people behind me in line, I just _gave up whatever rights I had._ On my return trip, if I see the scanner I'm going to talk to the gate before I board to see how to opt out.

Didn't you wear a covid mask?

Simple solution: just wear sunglasses on top.

Then simply refuse to remove either. It's about creating a shelling point: face scanner work on the pre-covid premise that most people were NOT covering their faces, so it required no action on their behalf.

Fortunately, the situation changed: the shelling point prefers the existing status-quo, so it will be seen as an unreasonable expectation to ask you to remove your mask, unless it's a TSA agent checking your id... and it's not.

Hilariously, they asked everyone at the gate to remove their masks to get scanned. AFAIK, everyone before me did, as did the few I saw behind me.

Say out loud "But I don't want to catch Covid and die!"

Pretending you care more about public health works very well!

If they insist, say their disregard for the FDA guidelines just to play with they new tech toy is not acceptable, and say you will denounce this blatant endangering of everyone health.

The fear of monetary liabilities from Covid is a great way to make most business dance the way you want.
