they've been doing it for at least a year now. the TSA agents ask you to pose for the camera to verify your ID. While you can opt out for another form of ID verification, their canned response is that there are a billion cameras in the airport anyway so you might as well.
I think that's the point. they're informing you that you're not doing anything for your privacy, just holding up the line doing the alternate identity verification because the data is going to be collected anyway.
You mean misinforming you, since clearly they need you to pose for that specific camera instead. Regular CCTV cameras aren't going to get good pictures of your face or its 3D geometry, nor did you give your consent for them to put your face from that footage in a database, whereas if you let them scan you then they take that as consent for facial processing.

Then they can get my picture from one of those billion cameras.

all of that's over their pay grade, TSA agents are just trying to get the line moving.
