On: Americans can opt out of airport facial recognitio...

[orblivion]

I stopped opting out because I didn't see the point to continue. The opt-out moment is over. One could argue it contributed to getting rid of the more dangerous backscatter devices, but the millimeter waves remain. If it comes back for another reason I will rejoin for the duration. But I personally am not so shy that I care about a body scan. It seemed upon reflection that it was just vanity or resentment on my point to continue, and I was just inconveniencing myself.

If you have a counter-argument I'm all ears, but I just don't see the point for myself, here and now, to opt-out.

> I was just inconveniencing myself.

Oh, you put up the scanners, hired folks to do pat downs, are requiring me to take off my shoes, remove my laptop, etc?

I thought that was the TSA. Would you please stop?

The current approach is making us less safe, and we'd all be better off with the pre-9/11 security framework.

Edit: By "we" I mean Americans. America's enemies would be SOL.
