ACLU sues Homeland Security over airport face recognition program secrecy

&gt; The ACLU said that its recent Freedom of Information Act request to better understand the system has been ignored. Now it’s suing to ask a judge to turn over the documents.<p>I&#x27;m not certain, but it seems like the government ignoring FOIA requests has been an ongoing problem for years. I&#x27;m reading FOIA.gov right now, and don&#x27;t see anything yet, but are there any explicit deadlines for a reply or automatic penalties for dropping requests on the floor instead of replying? Are there good reasons why some requests should be ignored, as opposed to, say, citing an exemption?

Wow, I actually didn&#x27;t even know you could opt out of this. Delta really should have made that more clear, but I suppose that&#x27;s less conducive towards a police state.

Here are some questions I have:<p>1. How do I actually opt-out?<p>2. If I opt out, does this affect Global Entry or TSA Precheck?<p>3. Does opt-out have any bearing on renewal of Global Entry or TSA Precheck?

Why is the US becoming more of a police state, and how can we stop this?

FWIW, for non-Americans (like myself) ... you apparently cannot opt out of this photo&#x2F;face initiative. TSA&#x2F;airport full-body scanners are still opt-out for all.

No provisions for non-US citizens to opt out. Can&#x27;t say I&#x27;m surprised.

is there a place to check which airports and which airlines have implemented this? I traveled over the holidays and didn&#x27;t even notice the face scanning.
