Interesting return flight. I was the only person boarding who said no to the facial recognition and asked for normal boarding pass scan.
In Houston, there’s now bullshit signs about TSA making sure people leave the country (yeah ummm pull the other one), and no comment from United staff about opt out. It’s fascinating to watch how easily people bow down to abstract power tyrannies. Wonder if Americans should start lobbying new admin to get rid of these things? It would be clear signal if they really are different thinking and upholding of values
