There's a difference between having humans check IDs and storing facial [and other data] data in a database.

as long as they are only allowed to use this data to secure flights, and nothing else (including selling it).

Laws against tracking and selling of private data needs to step up in the USA (i would imagine this falls under GDPR, and you'd have to give consent in europe for this to happen).

Pictures of faces don’t do anything to “secure flights”.

You mean like the CBP database that stores a fresh picture of my face [and other data] whenever I enter the US?
