Hi,

Chances are you or someone you know and love is flying the week of July
4th. And if they’re flying JetBlue, Delta, or American Airlines, you or
loved ones might be in for a shock.

JetBlue, Delta, and American Airlines are now collecting invasive
biometric face scans from passengers in order to board their flights.^1

[ [link removed] ]Tell the Vice Presidents of these airlines: Stop using facial scanning
technology on passengers!

Biometric facial scans are NOT a TSA requirement to pass airport security,
so why are they necessary for JetBlue, Delta, and American Airlines?

None of these airlines have gone public about why this personal data is
even necessary, how they plan to protect passengers’ biometric data from
hacking attempts, or whether or not the government or any other 3rd party
will have access to passengers’ faces.

This is just the beginning of an increasingly alarming trend to normalize
invasive facial scanning technology. Already the city of San Francisco,
home to many tech giants, has banned police and city government from using
facial scanning technology because it’s so damaging.

immediately stop using biometric facial scans on passengers!

Thanks for taking action,

Tihi and the team at Demand Progress
