The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) sparked privacy concerns after unveiling plans to roll out controversial facial recognition tech in over 400 US airports soon.

This divisive program has perhaps unsurprisingly spawned a firestorm of criticism. Following the implementation of these synthetic security accelerators at US airports last winter, lawmakers expressed concerns that the machines present a major privacy issue.

It’s regrettable that these new facial recognition technology and high tech infrastructure is being rolled out at the expense of individual freedoms.
