A "dark pattern" tricks people into doing something they normally wouldn't do. In this case, to board your flight you may verify your identity in one of two ways:

1. Present your passport

2. Use the Facial Recognition software

They are tricking people into using option 2 by not informing them of option 1.

Just like Disney World - they scan your finger print upon entry to the park. When you ask to opt out, they're like "Well you're going to need to step out of line over here and give my manager some information.."
