ACLU sues U.S. Department Of Homeland Security and three of its agencies over facial recognition technology at airports and the country’s borders. The ACLU wants to learn more about how the government uses the technology. The agencies’ increasing use of facial recognition could pose “profound civil-liberties concerns” and enable “persistent government surveillance on a massive scale” Customs and Border Protection introduced facial recognition in 2017, allowing the authorities to photograph international travelers entering or leaving the country. These photographs are then fed into a government database and compared to other images in government datasets for identification purposes.”]
