Journalist Breanna Morello joined the show to detail the full story of the TSA's terrifying biometric data harvesting.

According to New Nation Now:

A bipartisan group of senators failed Thursday to secure a vote on a proposal to halt the Transportation Security Administration’s expansion of facial recognition technology as part of the Federal Aviation Administration’s reauthorization bill as it moves through Congress.

The TSA uses facial recognition technology at security at more than 80 airports and wants to expand the technology to more airports.

Travel industry analysts claim it could contribute to long lines at US airports, while some lawmakers argue face scans are a privacy violation.

According to Morello, the image deletes after seven seconds, however, in that time it’s sent to DHS, which they claim is for “testing purposes.”

She further added that noncitizens wouldn't have to show ID and are only required to hand over "DHS documents" to get through TSA.

“It’s a lower bar for non-U.S. citizens,” Morello said. “The most transparent administration doesn't want transparency among its three letter agencies.”

Lawmakers are concerned that Americans won’t be aware that they can opt out of this screening and instead have a human look at their ID. They’re also worried that the government could misuse a growing database of Americans’ faces.

Morello indicated that she tried to submit a Freedom of Information Act request but DHS has essentially ghosted her. Subsequently, she will have to sue if she wants that information.

An internal email was also accidentally emailed to Morello, indicating she is "not a favorable reporter.”

In that email, it also instructed TSA on how to answer questions moving forward, in another alleged attempt to limit information to the public.

“They are not giving away critical information to reporters,” Morello said.

Morello added that border patrol is also doing the same thing, which is mandatory through a congressional mandate for non-U.S. citizens.

"They actually hold non-U.S. citizens images for 75 years," Morello added.
