More steps — from checking a bag to clearing customs — are being automated using biometrics.
The need for social distancing and contactless interactions only added to the urgency.
In its recently released 2021 passenger survey, the International Air Transport Association found that 73 percent of passengers are willing to share their biometric data to improve airport processes, up from 46 percent in 2019.
Delta allows international fliers to use their face as their boarding pass at eight airports, including Minneapolis and Kennedy. Biometric boarding is optional and anyone wishing to be manually processed can use a boarding pass and passport.
It might not have rolled out yet... but there's no doubt in my mind that it's already been tested & perfected with our data already loaded into it!I saw and photographed signs in US airports around 2020 touting this face-scanning airline system.
The system didnt / doesnt exist yet in the US, but the official signs were made up and over in a storage area. You better believe it is coming.
I saw a similar thing in my local grocery story during the covid lockdowns. Weeks before there was any lockdown or masking, I saw the reverse side of a sign, poorly covered up, was printed with the "MASKS ARE REQUIRED TO ENTER" warning on them, and sure enough, a month later, they revealed these signs and masks were required to enter.
So you will one day soon scan your face to fly in the US. The sad thing is, it will be seen by many as an improvement over having to deal with a TSA agent (I almost agree that it is less orwellian) so it will be readily adopted with little to no complaints.
If for some reason it's not readily adopted, they'll just let you do something you could always do before on a plane, like keep your shoes on, and compliance will shoot up to 99.9%. Again, this was all tested during covid. Give you back some small freedom, while still being repressive, and the people will comply. Perhaps that was the whole point of the lockdowns anyway, to test us for rolling out systems like this and figure out the best ways to get full compliance.
In fact here's a NYT article telling us it's coming, 2 years ago.
lol.. yeah, safer to touch some glass fingerprint screen that every other traveler rubs their hand on than give a paper boarding pass to a TSA agent?
Massive increase in acceptance after covid-19.
It's always optional at first.
It's all just a precursor to the eventual mark. All of these things are a Type of the mark. From paying by card, to chips in Sweden, to this stuff, to whatever they have in mind for the slave masses as next step towards that cherished final goal.
