      „Concerns have been raised about the possibility of using traveler data to track journalists or political opponents. DHS has assured that the photos will not be used for “blanket surveillance.”“

      Given the fuckers in charge of DHS, I’ll take that denial with a grain of salt and continue to avoid going to that fucked up country.

      Friends, don’t go there. Just don’t. Yes, it’s my opinion, but at this point you’re supporting an authoritarian government.

      tbh it’s super common, e.g. if you fly to Japan you will be fingerprinted and photographed for example. For many work permits / PR applications etc Canada also requires photographs.

      Unless they can do the photos directly at the car vs at the secondary office, it would cause chaos at the land borders.

      An exit immigration check is basically the norm for most countries, if they moved to having that it would put them more closely in line with most other countries. However there’s currently no system to stop exits, land, sea or air. Is it going to be like those kiosks they used to have at the airports and wanted people to voluntarily declare their exit?

      The idea isn’t new. When I left Aruba at the end of September they took a photo of me before the security checkpoint.

      Yes last line is the scary part. Data they collect on you is kept for 75 years. Why so long. If you are 20 they can collect all your biometrics data and keep it effectively your entire life. Till you are 95.

      Meh, I went down for my nexus interview a couple weeks ago and they fingerprinted me and photographed me. We are not important and they won’t do much with that information unless you give them a need too. This is something a democrat administration could’ve done and no one would’ve batted an eye.

      Been there twice in my 42 years and will never go again.

      I know this sounds crazy to all the bots and astroturfers and MAGA Canadians but I can live a long and happy life never stepping foot near the US border.

      I connected through the US twice over the holidays and it happened both times

      Reddit is very detached from the real world , it’s more apparent the more comments I read. First off they take photographs on entry to Canada and the US. Also in the EU upon entry and exit. This isn’t new. Second while there is a drop in travel there is still 20+ million Canadian visits to the US and we’re still the highest amongst all countries.

      reading comments here make it seem we all stopped going and it’s a burning hell scape the second you cross South

      Honestly, I went today to visit a friend and it was zero issue.

      Don’t get me wrong, fuck the politics, but it was just crossing as usual. Actually, the person on the Canadian side was a bit of a B. That’s it.

      Great way to ensure even less Canadians cross the border into the United police states of america.

      I honestly don’t care if they do a strip search and make you eat a cardboard box, since I’m not going to be going to the US anyway

      Canada already does this when entering (at least at Pearson) even for citizens. I’m confused how this will work when exiting though. Are they going to set up exit controls at airports and land borders? That will be a lot of investment.

      Though I don’t like the current US administration, having exit controls to be able to properly track who is in the country makes sense to me. Europe already does this and we should probably do it too.

      Gimme one reason to stay here, as a Canadian I’ll just turn right back around

      In 2017 they scanned my retinas in entrance to south Korea. I didn’t like it but I wasn’t about to say no and take the first flight home. Solution to the USA problem is of course not to go at all

    31. jostrons on

      For the past few years flying to the US from Pearson, the Customs Agents lift up a Webcam and take your picture. I guess this is now for cars too.

      Are they going to make everyone get out so they can take pictures?

    32. Empirebuilder15 on

      Meh… been to China and Schengen countries a million times and had this done. Canada takes my picture when I enter. This ain’t that big a deal, all countries have this/will have this soon.

      When I entered Europe, I was photographed and all my fingerprints were taken. This isn’t that crazy.
