Hi all! I’m wondering if this happened to anyone else because it honestly caught me off guard and I never heard of this happening before
I was at the Boston Logan airport with JetBlue and while walking through the tunnel (sorry if that’s the wrong term) between the gate and the plane 2 agents “asked” to take a photo verify my passport. I found it odd that they asked in the middle of the tunnel as they already take photos at security and the agents only had phone with a uniform, no sort of station at all. Has anyone else been forced to have a photo taken after security?

If you’re traveling internationally, yes, I’ve had this done every time I’ve flown to Canada in the last 3-4 years. It wasn’t random. They announced it on the intercom before we started boarding.
That seems better, thank you
I figure that privacy is out the window as soon as you arrive at any/most airports.
was this happening to everyone or were you singled out?
Everyone it seems like
How long until they start scanning buttholes?
Soon. Possibly already depending on where you’ve been walking 😂
The way you walk can be tracked, like a fingerprint. Here's what NYC lawmakers want to do about it. - CBS New York

"These are not the buttholes you're looking for" ✌️
Anal wrinkle fingerprint database breached by malicious hackers, hundreds have their holes identified
*HUNDEREDS have their holes exposed!

You should opt out. You're not forced to do this.
I'd be worried it's a scam of some sort to get your info from your passport. Although with this administration I wouldn't put anything passed them. Did you ask for their credentials? Just seems weird it was in the middle of the airport and not at any sort of checkpoint but I don't fly very often.
I bet you that was ICE
What airport?
Logan airport, jetblue
International arrival or domestic travel?
