"It's a terrifyingly totalitarian vision of pervasive surveillance of air travelers at, quite literally and deliberately, every step of their journey, enabled by automated facial recognition and by the seamless collaboration of airlines and airport operators that will help the government surveil their customers in exchange for free use of facial images for their own business purposes and profit."

There are at least 175,000 fully weaponized federal agents in America. That is one for every 1850 men, women, and children. Compare that to our 'representative' government. We have one Representative in the House for every 747,000 Americans. Does that speak to the intent of 'our' federal government, or not?
