For international flights, US citizens can opt out but foreign nationals have to participate in face scanning, with some exceptions.

Which exceptions?

I’ll bet one of the exceptions is having a bunch of money.

I remember when travelling in the US (Im a foreigner) there was a vip pass thingy to skip lines and enter without even talking to a migration officer (I think). Really seemed like a rich person pass

I’m Canadian and I used to have a pass like that. It was $50 at the time and valid for 5 years.

Yeah, there are two different programs. One is for domestic flights and one is for domestic and international.
I did the domestic flight one once because it was free with my credit card.
But I had to fill out some forms and interview in person.
I only got to use it once because they vip lanes were always closed.
It’s only worth it if you need to travel a lot.
Additionally, I’ve never really suffered long lines through airport security.
The long lines are typically at immigrations and you can’t skip those outside of being a diplomat or private jet rich.
