You absolutely can opt out of facial recognition at the TSA! But you have to be on your guards and make sure you request it! They might fake not knowing so you should insist!
if that's true, you are probably opting out of them telling you they are using facial recognition.... but they probably still use it.... how else would they know how to exclude you?
I believe they use a special camera for this, if you opt out you don't go in front of it. But s, yes, surely there's a ton of other facial recognition in airports using security cameras and stuff. Total Domain Awareness is everywhere. But every bit counts.
