Reminder for bitcoin friends flying out of Nashville today:
That giant radiation machine straight nukes your cells. Horrible for your body.
Airports legally have to allow you to opt out for a pat-down instead. Just say it's for "health reasons"
Comes with the added bonus of having a fat, miserable TSA agent massage your balls! https://nostpic.com/media/0018b7ee33fb253843639c62e292fec700a69a93b08ee374c5bda971c9b39564/f5a2031b230137efcc5d94023f0b832f25f3da19323ae068bd806fd7905014a3.webp
And opt out of having your photo/facial scan taken at both security point and at boarding!
are they also required to let you opt out of that?
what's the process there?
I always just step slightly to the side and politely say I want to opt out of the facial scan and it’s always been smooth for me.
“TSA policy requires that TSOs show each traveler respect and ensure their privacy is protected. Travelers who do not wish to participate in the facial recognition technology process may decline the optional photo, without recourse, in favor of an alternative identity verification process, which does not use facial recognition technology to verify their identity. This action will not take longer and travelers will not lose their place in line for security screening. TSA is committed to protecting traveler privacy, civil rights, civil liberties and ensuring the public’s trust as it seeks to improve the traveler experience through its exploration of identity verification technologies”
