Seattle Port Commission to consider rules for airport facial recognition
We’ll be in Seattle on December 10, 2019, to give public comments (see our detailed written testimony submitted in advance) at a meeting of the Port of Seattle Commission concerning a proposed resolution on use of facial recognition by airlines at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA).
This will be the first time that any operator of a US airport has publicly considered any policies to govern use of facial recognition by airlines or on airport property.
The public authorities that operate almost all major US airports have a key role to play in oversight of traveler surveillance systems deployed on their premises by their tenants.
