I asked if I could opt out, and the guy at the desk said, “No, it’s required.” I said, “I’m not comfortable giving my biometric ID to companies which get hacked all the time.” He said “It’s the US government that gets the data.” I told him that was even worse, and he said I could talk to his supervisor. &#xA;&#xA;Supervisor said, yeah, just show your boarding pass over on the side. So I (and my family) did. &#xA;&#xA;Always ask. Always opt out. </html></oembed>
