The Transportation Security Administration is testing the use of facial recognition technology at U.S. airports to identify passengers as they pass through security.
The technology is purposefully limited due to privacy concerns; the cameras are only used to compare one's face with their ID, and it's only activated when an ID is inserted, the Associated Press reported. The TSA hails the system as drastically increasing convenience and security despite an abundance of caution from naysayers.
“We take these privacy concerns and civil rights concerns very seriously because we touch so many people every day,” he said. "Increasing biometric surveillance of Americans by the government represents a risk to civil liberties and privacy rights," the senators wrote.
