>Is saving a few minutes worth handing over your most sensitive biometric information?

The problem is that you've already handed this biometric information over; say, when you get a passport. There is no "opt-out" for that context. This is also why RealId was so vehemently opposed[0].

At the end of the day, they're getting your data - one way or another and there is no opt-out for that.

So, to make an appeal on the argument of privacy of data is being woefully ignorant of the fact that this encroachment has been happening for years and it didn't seem to matter very much then.

And they probably scanned his face one way or another anyway.

But are the systems all interconnected? Or is there still value in minimizing your biometric footprint spreading across multiple systems?

The "real" max headroom (edison carter) would never lay down for govt/corporate overreach.
