U.S. homeland security abandons plan for face scans for U.S. citizens
|
This is followup to: Homeland Security wants to force all travelers including US citizens to undergo face scans when leaving or entering the United States
[NBCNews] The Trump administration said Thursday it no longer plans to propose a regulation next year that would require all travelers ‐ including U.S. citizens ‐ to be photographed when entering or leaving the United States.
anybody who thinks they aren't already being photographed and ID'd is fooling themselves. Try and obscure your face on entry, see how that works out for ya
The proposed regulation was slated to be issued in July by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as part of the Trump administration's regulatory agenda. The agency said Thursday after consulting Congress and privacy experts it would not move forward.
"There are no current plans to require U.S. citizens to provide photographs upon entry and exit from the United States. CBP intends to have the planned regulatory action regarding U.S. citizens removed from the unified agenda next time it is published," the agency said.
Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., credited public pressure with the decision, which he called "a victory for every single American traveler who flies on a plane."
