You can say no to a TSA face scan. But even a senator had trouble. (www.washingtonpost.com)

Ignore these dorm room philosophers. You are 100% correct. State and Federal agencies already have access to every photo ID.

It doesn't matter that they can identify you slightly easier. Do you vote based on limiting police access to law enforcement databases? If you don't vote based on this, your minor refusal to be photographed doesn't mean anything.
