There's a difference between a flat low resolution passport photo and your 3D face. They want all the 3D geometry in high resolution and any other data they can get their hands on, preferably with your consent to store and use it, which they are now taking as implied by use of an airport. Getting DNA tied to people's identities is also hard to do in large numbers, but using airports will make it easy. We must resist the incremental erosion of our freedoms or there will be nothing left to fight for.
I’m just saying it’s not new at least regarding the face. It’s been going on at least two years if not longer at large airports. That picture of the white guy in the black backpack in the article is of existing reality that’s exactly what it looks like. I don’t know how they obtained my face otherwise, but they already had it by virtue of having used their facial recognition on me prior to me having provided it to them.
