"American Airlines said Wednesday (6/22/2022) that customers with PreCheck can go through security checkpoints at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport with a face scan and phone app instead of showing their driver’s license or passport.

The airline said that it intends to expand the test, which started Wednesday, to airports in Miami, Phoenix, Washington, D.C., and elsewhere later this year.

American is portraying the service as a convenience factor that will help passengers get through security checkpoints more quickly. Privacy experts have expressed concern about personal information that people volunteer for a convenience benefit, and how that information is used and stored.

At DFW Airport, passengers will need PreCheck, the expedited-screening service sold by the Transportation Security Administration, and an American Airlines mobile app to use the facial-recognition technology.

Delta Air Lines and JetBlue Airways have used biometric technology for boarding at other airports."

Below is the first version that they were working on in 2019, which didn't call for the use of a mobile app:

biometrics are already in use, much more than you might think. This sort of makes sense really

With all the privacy law and anti-government-having-my-personal-data mentality in the US, I can see why this is such a big deal. Other places puts practicality and efficiency above all things.

That's everywhere in Asia, brother. Thailand, Cambodia and the likes, not to mention China.
No escaping from biometrics. And AA, Delta and the likes are just as hungry for data as your average Big Tech brothers - your Metas ,etc.
The ant-iutopian future is now ... but hey man, the sun is still shining, blunts and good music are still there, we can escape as long as our minds are not controllled 😎

I feel like this should just be expected at this point.

It starts with the little things like this until you reach the end point like the social credit system of China : ( unfortunately, stuff like this seem to be innovate and harmless for now but they will have horrific effects on the population in the long term.) The governments thirst for control is infinite.
