This is basically fear mongering. You’re worried about what they might do rather than what they are doing, which is not keeping the pics taken at kiosks. This is even mentioned in the article.
I’d certainly be worried about any plans they have, but skipping the pics now isn’t doing anything for either party unless you don’t believe what they say. Which is fair enough, but you’d need to provide a reason to doubt it.

Do you have proof of that? I personally don’t trust what law enforcement says. They have already proven themselves incompetent and to have no respect for the law, what more reason do I need to not trust them?
Even if I do believe them, making things inconvenient for the police is just a small way for me to get back at them for making my life inconvenient. If enough people push back and slow TSA to a crawl, they’ll reconsider the policy.
The current admin is utilizing IRS data for deportation efforts and the USPS for data collection in furtherance of those same efforts. Why would collection of facial recognition data from the TSA be any different?
You don’t need to provide a reason, you just have to say you choose to opt out.
Frankly with how easily this administration attempts to skirt the law, and defy judges that tell them to knock it off, I would not trust that the TSA is always deleting the photos that they’re supposed to.
The TSA site specifically says that the photos are not stored. AI training data generated from the “live” photo(s) they take would be just as useful to them for the things people should be worried about and there’s no mention of them not storing that data.

Is that even something they do though? Or just another “but they could” argument?
