More US Airports are Scanning Faces. But a New Bill Could Limit the Practice

An anonymous reader shared this repost from the Washington Post:It's becoming standard practice at a growing number of U.S. airports: When you reach the front of the security line, an agent asks you to step up to a machine that scans your face to check whether it matches the face on your identification card. Travelers have the right to opt out of the face scan and have the agent do a visual check instead — but many don't realize that's an option.
