Oh wow, I had no idea you could opt out. I flew to Paris recently and they were herding people like cattle through CDG and at no point was it clear that there was an opt out. Hell, it wasn't even obvious I was about to have my face scanned until I stepped into a very claustrophobic chamber, the doors shut behind me, and it told me I needed to scan my face before I could walk out the other side of that chamber. In a moment like that, after being awake for 30 hours because some crotch goblins were screaming the entire flight, trapped in a pod the size of my closet, telling me to stand still and let the techbros steal your faceprint, my personal morals about facial rec were the last thing on my mind.
It is kind of shady and definitely unethical. There should be a obvious opt out. In the US when you are arrested the police are legally obligated to tell you your rights. The same should be true about TSA
What is a crotch goblin? Is that another name for genital lice?
From the context, children.
