Face scan by itself isn’t the issue, it’s the storage (hack/stolen) and how your data will be used. Washington Post is reporting the FBI and ICE have been using DMV databases for face pictures. I suppose sheeple like you don’t care about that egregious overstep either.
Data that's not specifically protected by law can be shared by government agencies at will. Privacy act may limit that, but it doesn't even apply to state/local governments. Also if you signed something (probably fine print boilerplate) that allows sharing between agencies, there you are.
You did get fingerprinted for new-hire SIDA checks. All of us do. If you were in the military any time after 1995-ish the feds have your DNA too.
