Do you really want to be submitting a face scan to the current U.S. government?

    Every time I opt out I am mysteriously pulled aside for a “randomized check.”

      I opt out whenever I travel and I get random checks about 4/5 times now. I definitely don’t flag on this scale either.

      That’s odd. I opted out and was met with no fuss whatsoever. Might have just been lucky.

        That is lucky. It is every time for me, and I am pasty white.

          Might be the airport too. The one nearby the TSA agents are quite chill in comparison with others I’ve been to in the past.
