The government might use your picture for something nefarious in the future we can’t even think of an example of besides real-time tracking. ooooOOOOOoooOooo.
You are on candid camera every time you’re in the airport guys. You’re probably carrying a tracking device in your pocket already. This article doesn’t say anything about anything, it’s slop.
Why SHOULD you decline to have a photo taken to compare to your ID with your photo on it? This article doesn’t say that, but that’s what the headline reads.
This is not “it’s already bad, might as well go full stupid” so much as “did you know bread has dirt in it? you should avoid it.” - people who don’t wash their hands after they shit.
By all means decline the picture, but most people have way, WAY bigger security and privacy problems than having a live picture taken when they fly once a year.
Is it a problem though? Or just questionable security hygiene? That’s the issue I take with the article: the headline says “BIG PROBLEM” but then doesn’t deliver any supporting evidence.
You can opt out, here’s why!

I love how “it’s already bad may as well go full stupid” is your security and privacy policy.
Open with this if you interview with us, okay? I’ll tell my boss to look out for it and save us some time.
This is some “That happened” material right here.

I’m sure they do have many problems. This is an easy one to fix.

I’d say questionable security hygiene is a problem.
