Protest ICE and they scan your face.
Three days later, your Global Entry and TSA PreCheck are gone.
No charges. No explanation.
Just surveillance β retaliation.
Facial recognition. Watchlists. Revoked privileges.
This isn't security It's Big Brother policing dissent in real time.

The thing about a lot of these law enforcement #biometric databases is that itβs very easy to get out into them and very difficult to ever get out.
Did you know that something like 1 in 2 people living in the US are in federal facial recognition databases because of drivers license/state ID sharing and passports.
