I’m not sure what you mean by “nope!”
I’m an airline pilot. I deal with this every day at work.
Edit: y’all are unbelievable, just making shit up I didn’t say. I said nothing about KCM, but thanks for assuming I don’t know how that works.
I specifically stated traveling as a passenger and using the TSA’s facial recognition as part of security which absolutely is run by DHS, and I mentioned global entry which is managed by CBP and Trusted Traveler Program which is ALSO run by the DHS.
My image and tens of thousands of other airline crewmembers are already in the system.
So please keep telling me I don’t know what I’m doing at my job. Damn, that’s irritating AF.
You deal with the KCM which since 2011 has never been managed directly by the DHS.
Walking through a scanner every day doesn’t mean you understand it or what is done with the data.
Just like sitting in an airplane doesn’t mean I know how to fly it.
Stay in your lane when it comes to claims of expertise sir sky cabbie
No need to be a dick, bro.
He made a claim of authority where he has none.
Calling him out is only reasonable.
Yeah, but you don't have to be a dick about it.
