New at PHX Sky Harbor Intl., it appeared as if they were actually training TSA on the new facial recognition system at airport security now, FYI they don't tell you its optional, they just quickly herd everyone through as if its mandatory.
I asked questions;
Me: What is this for?
TSA: ID
Me: isn’t that why I hand you my ID card?
Me: is this not optional?
TSA: You just have to ask for the camera to be turned off, do you want the camera off?
Me: yes, turn the camera off.
All you have to do is say turn the camera off, then they have to match you to your ID picture, just like they've always done. When they turned off the camera, it locked up the system and fouled the checkpoint station, I had to move to another station. DO NOT COMPLY! make them turn off the camera, and interrupt their bullshit operation. TSA procedures are all unconstitutional, Patriot Act is based on lies, DS killed a bunch of Americans on 911 to launch their “security”agenda. Safe travels Patriots.
Always worth remembering that this only applies to commercial carriers. If you fly private or your own plane, there's effectively no restrictions or checkpoints. There are also many types of aircraft you don't even need a license to fly.
These resources belong to you as a natural citizen and never to the government as an entity. They're only permitted to manage it in a reasonable and non-discriminatory way. The carriers and airports all agreed to the restrictions.
My cousin owns a private jet and can fly from here to Europe nonstop without going through all the TSA crap. Actually, he owns the company that owns the plane, so celebrities pay to use it a lot. So in reality the plane costs him nothing.
