TSA tries out another biometric system
What is the practical* justification / value of knowing the name of every air traveler?  Literally how is safety in any way increased (or any other benefit obtained for that matter) for anyone, either traveler or non-traveler.I can’t even reason about cost or burden to benefit trade offs without knowing a benefit, and I have never seen any clearly stated.  Just vague handwaves (“obviously this makes us safer” or circular justification.* I am not asking for legal justification, which is itself unclear as explained elsewhere on John’s site.
