Hi all,

I am travelling soon to the US, for my vocation and as a long-time private person I will be taking some steps to maintain my privacy as I enter the country.

As this is an interesting area of the topic, I have decided to throw the question open to all of you.

What precautions (IT, physical, mental, otherwise) do you undertake when travelling internationally?

You absolutely can opt out of facial recognition at the TSA! But you have to be on your guards and make sure you request it! They might fake not knowing so you should insist!

if that's true, you are probably opting out of them telling you they are using facial recognition.... but they probably still use it.... how else would they know how to exclude you?

I believe they use a special camera for this, if you opt out you don't go in front of it. But s, yes, surely there's a ton of other facial recognition in airports using security cameras and stuff. Total Domain Awareness is everywhere. But every bit counts.
