“It’s definitely still worth declining the face scan next time you fly…Every opt-out opportunity is a way to vote for your biometric rights,” according to Dr. Joy Buolamwini in a new article from Vox by Sigal Samuel about TSA face scanning. https://lnkd.in/eaeEmF8W Opting out of TSA facial recognition, in theory, should be simple if the TSA officer is aware of the process. To opt out, stand away from the camera and/or cover your face with a mask, present your ID, and say “I opt out of biometrics. I want the standard verification process.” Share your opt-out experience and become a member of the Opt Out Club at fly.ajl.org. #OptOutClub #FreedomFlyers ✈

Part 2 of my first single-engine flight is here! In this video, I learn about the checklist procedure needed before we take to the sky. As we head toward our Freedom Flyers Summit this Friday we encourage you to go through the following checklist next time you fly. We want everybody to know you can opt out of TSA facial recognition technology. We encourage you to consider: 🔴 Did I receive clear information about how to opt out of the facial recognition program? 🔴 Did I give consent to have my face scanned? 🔴 Did the tech work on me? Join our #FreedomFlyers✈️ campaign to help hold TSA accountable for this program. Share your experiences with TSA’s facial recognition tech and learn more at fly.ajl.org.
