> if I'm going to give up my privacy by having my passport photo shared with airports without my knowledge or consent

The same place where you literally already have to have your passport scanned, your face photographed, you're recorded in every area that isn't a restroom, where if you're not a US national your fingerprints taken, and they literally scan you beneath your clothes? You're worried about your privacy _there_?

A federal agency does that passport scanning and id check, I didn't expect them to share the same information with every airport agency in the country.

I'm fine with the TSA scanning my passport, and the airport filming me. What I'm not so fine with is the airport also having my photo and identity, so now they aren't just filming me every place I walk in the airport, but they are also correlating that to my identity.

Just wait till it gets mapped to you when you enter the airport, and then they build a profile of your airport shopping behavior.
