My dumb ass thought I could do this at immigration. Partner loved me asking
If you’re a US citizen, you probably can.
Nope, you cannot
You can, the officer will probably ignore your request though. Here’s the sign from the article:
Ah yeah I saw this that’s why I asked. Thanks for sharing
Every time I opt out I am mysteriously pulled aside for a “randomized check.”
I opt out whenever I travel and I get random checks about 4/5 times now. I definitely don’t flag on this scale either.
Does this also apply to the face scans they ask U.S. citizens to do when passing the Canadian border?
If it’s into Canada, I don’t think you have that option. If it’s into the US, then yeah, they have to let you enter, so I assume refusing face scans is allowed. They can certainly detain you, but you have rights. IANAL though, and YMMV depending on the color of your skin and/or accent, unfortunately.
