Driver's license isn't recognized while you're walking down the street and a camera facially recognizes you.

You don't need to be shocked about data scraping and identification. Been around for a very long time.

Yes they know where you entered by scanning your ticket but this misses the point. I'm not handing my facial data to some conglomerate that does God knows what with it. They're 100% not just going to stop at validating it's your ticket then throw away the data. Zero chance.
