Taking your photo and having gate agents inspect your ID and appearance is an entirely, categorically different thing than having a facial recognition system that can be dynamically fine tuned on small numbers of photos to automatically detect your face in digital sources.

I could agree there are legitimate purposes to collect photo identification. I can’t see any useful reason that comes anywhere close to outweighing the risks for feeding photos into a recognition system like this.
