  • Travelers can opt out of facial recognition at US airports by requesting manual ID verification, though resistance or intimidation may occur.
  • Facial recognition poses privacy risks, including potential data breaches, misidentification, and normalization of surveillance.
  • The Algorithmic Justice League's "Freedom Flyers" campaign aims to raise awareness of these issues and encourage passengers to exercise their right to opt out.

Upon searching your anus for potential contraband, we found a large hemoroid. Please contact your primary care physician.

Do they bill you $40,000 for that diagnosis? Could be a new source of revenue for discount airlines

Since a lot of hemoroid cases are caused by the seat of the discount flights, it would be a solid business model.
