Recently traveled abroad and was shocked at how dystopian moving through borders is anymore. Scans after scans of passports, fingerprinting, face scans, questions about intentions for visiting, paperwork, cameras throughout airports that are surely doing untold amounts of biometric analysis with some bullshit AI…in some of these places you get laughed at if you ask about opting out. It almost isn’t worth it.

People like you are the reason why we have to suffer these indignities.

I am by no means disagreeing. I am just saying there is an argument that could be made better. Asking a reason for traveling or verifying passports in absolutely nothing new and makes the point the user is trying to make seem disingenuous to a degree. Also a personal reasoning as to why they would like more privacy in the modern era would make the post much more relatable.
