DL rolls out face-recognition for pax
Does this mean everyone now has to remove their masks?

Good to know. Doesn't change my mind though. Still not gonna go thru those things unless forced. I have seen how maintenance is done in government operations. Ya'll have at it.

Also true: Europe has consistently refused to use them. Hmm.
Flight crews in the US get special consideration around these machines solely due to coordinated flight attendant action (United? American) when they all said "no". It was over in less than a week.
Personally, I opt out. It's security theatre anyway; the facial recognition technology coming is going to be a game changer for keeping bad people off planes soon enough.
