Updated with a statement from Sen. Merkley, who proposed the amendment and was a part of the negotiation: "As I worked with other Senate negotiators to develop a compromise proposal governing TSA’s use of facial recognition, it became abundantly clear that the end goal for TSA is to make facial recognition mandatory for all American air travelers and that the current opt-out system will end."

@alng @hacks4pancakes Honestly, facial recognition and AI will probably it do a better job than most TSA agents at just about every step of the security theater.
