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.
