RELATED: How does facial recognition technology work?
"We're already using it for our phones consistently. I mean, just about everybody's doing it," added Dean Knight, traveling from Meyersville, Maryland. "We're assessing how the technology works and we're assessing it's accuracy, we're assessing it's impact on passengers," Pekoske said. "Quite frankly, it's not doing anything to help the public," said Albert Fox Cahn. "The urgent need for greater transparency."Cahn, who is with the nonprofit Security Technology Oversight Project, said this could be the largest federal use of facial data ever.
The TS insists it is committed to passenger privacy, immediately destroying most images and securing data from cyber-attacks.
