  • the government does, and what they do with it is harshly regulated.

    the TSA is part of DHS but operates outside of DHS and can do whatever it wants with your information if you give it freely. it’s one of the reasons how that facial recognition apparatus works. it was developed by a contractor to USDOD and delivered to DHS for the TSA to use on the public.

    DHS cannot investigate the general public without probable cause, TSA can. so what information they gleam from the general public is then shared with DHS, DOD, and sold back to the contractor as a part of the delivered contract. what they do with it afterwards is entirely up to them.

    both accepting and rejecting the scan is harmful to your privacy. by accepting you are now indexed in a database and that information can be used in multiple government sanctioned investigations. by rejecting it, you are flagged as a concern and your profile is then processed through and algorithm to identify your threat level.

    the TSA are doing more than just looking at your passport when you reject. they’re waiting on that threat level response to identify if you should be taken for further questioning.















  • can you really blame us?

    let me run through the last 8 years of American history with four words, “we were lied to”. doesn’t matter from whom, doesn’t matter what. we’re constantly being lied to. truth is, it’s been true for longer than 8 years, but the last 8 have been especially transparent.

    we’re learning that the upper echelon only trusts the American public to do three things; consume, produce, and die. if you can’t even do that for them, you’re removed as an undesirable.

    so yeah, trust in the system is broken. it’s going to take at least a generation or two just to repair it ** if they work on it**.

    I can’t fault anyone who’s untrusting of a system that continuously covers lie after lie with more lies.
