Comment on Traveling this summer? Maybe don’t let the airport scan your face.

Reflectacles are a really good idea if you’re going this route. They can ID you with just an eye scan, and this interferes with that.

They have you take your sunglasses off.

Get clear ones. Most (all?) of those security cameras use IR illumination to ID you, so you can have lenses that allow visible light through, but mess up IR scanning. I think you can get them w/ prescription lenses if you email the creator, so you can legitimately tell them you need your glasses to see (if you need a prescription, that is).

If the scan fails, they’ll just ask you to take them off.

Sure, and I’ll say I don’t consent to take them off, so they’ll need to verify me another way.
