For many in our community, including immigrants, visa holders, and travelers of color, going through security isn't just inconvenient. It can feel genuinely unsafe. And we see you. Your safety comes first. Always. For those who feel safe to do so, you still have the legal right to opt out of facial recognition at TSA checkpoints. Dr. Joy Buolamwini is here to show you how. But we want to be clear: opting out is an act of collective resistance, not an obligation. Only you can assess what's safe for you and your family. Here's what we know: 🛡️ Privacy: Your face is your most sensitive data. Once captured, we don't control how it's stored or who it's shared with. ⚠️ Security: Biometric data is subject to data breaches. Past DHS breaches show our most private information is at risk. ⚡️ Power: The rapid expansion of biometric surveillance at our borders and airports is not inevitable. We have a say. Whatever you decide at the checkpoint, knowledge is power. Catch Dr. Joy on the Science Friday podcast for a deeper dive into the harms of TSA face scans and why this fight matters now more than ever. 🎙️✨ 🔗 Link to watch and learn more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5667H0iaqMQ
