it effects the entire world pal, just cause its not visibly right outside your front door doesnt mean youre above it

also, being smug is a shitty look

i wish you were wrong so fuckin bad :(

its probably only a matter of time before that scourge arrives in our little internet hovel. most likely already happening.

thats right

yeah it fuckin sucks. you dont need to believe it or not, I swear to you (it also happened to my wife, Im a US citizen and she isn’t) this was in the dublin ireland departures when you go to the states. you actually go through immigration when youre still in ireland. so you go down an escalator to a specific part of the airport thats sectioned off from the rest for this. walking up to the desk, before i had a chance to take my passport out of my bag, while I was still about 10 feet away, he TSA agent said “hello [name]” they did the same thing to my wife. its disarming as youre not expecting it. there’s no knowing where in the line the facial recognition already took place. the idea you can consent/not consent is almost certainly purely theater.

I had a TSA agent say my name as I walked up to the booth. They 100% scanned me before I was in earshot of the agent.
