Markey, and Kansas\u2019 U.S. Senator Roger Marshall banded together to sound the alarm over the Transportation Security Administration\u2019s (TSA) use of facial recognition technology at airports nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lawmakers introduced the bipartisan <em>Ley de protecci\u00f3n de la privacidad del viajero<\/em> to protect travelers\u2019 ability to travel without undergoing government face scans. The bill comes as the TSA plans to expand facial recognition technology to more than 430 airports across the country, while eventually planning to make this technology mandatory for all travelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cFolks don\u2019t want a national surveillance state, but that\u2019s exactly what the TSA\u2019s unchecked expansion of facial recognition technology is leading us to,\u201d <strong>dijo Merkley.<\/strong> \u201cAmericans have the right to opt out of using TSA\u2019s facial recognition at the airport, and we need to protect that right.

The <em>Ley de protecci\u00f3n de la privacidad del viajero<\/em> would protect Americans\u2019 ability to say \u2018no\u2019 to these facial scans and safeguard the personal data that the TSA collects,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>dijo Kennedy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cPassengers should not have to choose between safety and privacy when they travel. Yet, the TSA has consistently ignored our calls to halt the unacceptable use of facial recognition tools and protect passenger privacy. Instead, the agency rapidly expanded the use of the technology nationwide,\u201d <strong>dijo Markey.<\/strong> \u201cMe complace asociarme con los senadores Merkley y Kennedy en el <em>Ley de protecci\u00f3n de la privacidad del viajero<\/em> to ensure travelers are able to exercise their right to privacy and be able to check TSA\u2019s invasive practices at the door.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cPrivacy is one of America\u2019s most sacred liberties, and we must protect it,\u201d <strong>said Marshall.<\/strong> \u201cIn no universe should the federal government collect biometric data from Americans without their full, informed consent. The <em>Ley de protecci\u00f3n de la privacidad del viajero<\/em> strengthens safeguards around this sensitive data and brings transparency for travelers.

The bipartisan bill is endorsed by the ACLU, American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), Public Citizen, EPIC, Project On Government Oversight (POGO), and Fight for the Future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Merkley has been\u00a0an outspoken and longtime leader in sounding the alarm on TSA\u2019s use of\u00a0facial\u00a0recognition technology.

Facial recognition and facial matching technologies are the foundation for a surveillance dragnet, chilling our ability to protest, travel, or even attend a baseball game without our every move being scrutinized. Governments at all levels should take steps to freeze this technology&#8217;s use, and the <em>Ley de protecci\u00f3n de la privacidad del viajero<\/em> provides urgent safeguards. Crucially, it limits the government&#8217;s ability to repurpose our faces for uses we never consented to and prohibits its deployment in a vast airport surveillance network,\u201d <strong>said Cody Venzke, Senior Policy Counsel for the ACLU.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cAs the representative of 47,000 Transportation Security Officers who safeguard America\u2019s airports daily, AFGE is proud to endorse the <em>Ley de protecci\u00f3n de la privacidad del viajero<\/em>. This important bipartisan legislation protects both travelers\u2019 civil liberties and TSOs\u2019 professional integrity. The Transportation Security Administration\u2019s rushed implementation of facial recognition technology creates serious privacy concerns without demonstrating actual security benefits. Our TSOs are committed to effective, dignified screening \u2013 not becoming agents of unchecked surveillance. We applaud Senators Jeff Merkley and John N. Kennedy for ensuring passengers maintain the right to opt-out without penalty and preventing the misuse of biometric data.

Merkley&#8217;s <em>Travel Privacy Protection Act<\/em> finds that appropriate middle ground between the convenience and security of personal and business travel aboard commercial aircraft. It is all too easy \u2014 and unnecessary \u2014 for TSA officials to prioritize security over the privacy rights of passengers. With today&#8217;s highly sophisticated security measures, such as face recognition, passengers sometimes involuntarily or unwittingly turn over too much personal information to governmental authorities.

The Act will ensure facial recognition technology is not forced upon the air traveling public and prevent TSA\u2019s use of the tech from expanding beyond identity verification. Facial recognition requires strict regulations on if, when, and how it can be used; and we hope the Traveler Privacy Protection Act is the first step by Congress to meaningfully rein in this tech,\u201d <strong>said Jeramie D.
