Hi yall, flying for the holidays and checking in for a return flight to today, and saw that the airline has a request for additional personal information under the guise of "contact tracing"? There's no human way that the government is still doing any actual meaningful contact tracing whatsoever right? Certainly not if they're not even in the state of emergency anymore and have abandoned any and all other precautionary measures or recommendations for Covid. I also noted with interest that the initiative is supposedly a cooperation between the CDC and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), although explanatory links to both orgs' info about the practice were dead or didn't have any relevant info. Anyone have thoughts on or experience with this?
