TSA Facial Recognition Raises Traveler Rights Concerns

Scholar McKenly Redmon argues that TSA's facial recognition technology at airports risks coercing consent, perpetuating bias, and undermining civil liberties. Redmon contends that the TSA's deployment of biometric screenings threatens privacy, fairness, and civil rights. She highlights concerns about ambiguous signage, officer pressure, and the lack of transparency on demographic performance. Redmon calls for stronger oversight, clearer consent procedures, and stricter limits on data retention to protect traveler rights.
