- Opting out of biometrics in the TSA line has gotten so chill, also the face scan is literally slower than the manual documents check. I always time them when I'm in various lines at the airport. Also opting out at SFO got a lot easier because I got my senator involved a few years back! 🧵1/3
- If more people decline face scans, TSA might rethink “whether it’s actually effective to roll out programs like these,” EFF’s Saira Hussain told @huffpost.com. Without pushback, they're "just going to keep instituting more and more invasive techniques.”

- Looked at 23andMe's data on requests from Law Enforcement, and apparently since 2015 they've only received 11 requests and complied with 0. Am I reading this correctly? I'm surprised by how low the # of requests is. www.23andme.com/transparency...

- 1/2 Today I remembered an interview for a software engineering/research role where I was told I was the perfect candidate at the end of the interview, but that they wouldn't hire me for a senior role because I hadn't given birth, thus I couldn't possibly be senior enough ...

- Dreamed last night a villain captured me, turned me into Sprite via magic, and imprisoned me in a Sprite bottle. And guess what I see on the laptop next to the bottle? A page open to a notice from the FBI saying someone is going around kidnapping overachievers and turning them into Sprite.
