Ban on Facial Recognition at Airports: Protecting Traveler Privacy.

This law completely bans the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from using facial recognition technology at all U.S. airports. This change ensures that your biometric data will not be collected or processed during security screenings. Furthermore, the TSA must dispose of all previously collected facial biometric information within 90 days of the law taking effect, enhancing traveler privacy.
Key points
TSA is prohibited from using facial recognition or facial matching software in any airport.
All previously collected facial biometric data (images, videos) must be disposed of by the TSA within 90 days.
