Opt out of facial recognition?

The story's photo is from an airport in China, but I don't see anything in the article about opting out at non-U.S. airports. I've been scanned at a lot more foreign airports than U.S. airports.

 

It's laughable to think a foreign country is going to follow US rules and laws.Biometric data is being collected on all of us, especially if you've done one of those ancestry test kits .

Your on their soil and a guest in their country, You may ignore their laws at your own peril. You may get lucky and just get tossed out of their country.

 

Closer to home, my Tesla has a cabin cam and nags me if my eyes wander from the road for more than 5-10 second. It is easily defeated with sun or safety glasses which then reverts to 'steering wheel' nag, 45-120 seconds.

I've seen proposals for cabin cams to identify children and animals in hot, locked cars. I suspect they could also detect intoxicated or impaired drivers.

...easily, perhaps with an air sampler.

@ facial recognition:
That cat escaped from the cloth enclosure a looooooooooooooooooong time ago.

You can't even protect something more important which is your DNA.
YOU may not 'be in the system' but how many of your relatives took advantage of some Black Friday 23-and-me-and the CCP special?

Friends and neighbors....
You can PICK one of them.
