It will be argued that this isn't surveillance because people are willing to scan their faces and give explicit consent. The fundamental problem is the requirement to prove your identity at all. It leads to a slippery slope where this requirement gets imposed on travelling short distances via car or foot because now the tech is so easy/cheap.
"We must not sit idly by while the infrastructure for mass face surveillance is created."

yup decades of step by step nudging societies led towards majority accepting this (or rather unaware, too occupied to "care", tempted with digital dopamine, convenience, etc)
it's been slippery for a while and the slope seems to be accelerating downwards.
