Yes, you can opt out but they basically make you use it anyway.

From the post:

>You typically have the right to opt out of having your face scanned at airports. And it’s worth doing. That’s your summer travel advice from Joy Buolamwini, a pioneering artificial intelligence researcher and founder of the Algorithmic Justice League (AJL), an organization that highlights the harms of AI. For the past few years, TSA checkpoints at a growing number of airports in the United States have been snapping images of travelers’ faces and using facial recognition technology to ensure the face matches the person’s photo identification.

Consent is (((implied))) now unless you inform them of your decision before you hand them any document.

Ignore their first words to look in the camera. Make eye contact and wish them good morning or whatever. Then state that you'd like to opt out of biometrics. Wait for their acknowledgement, and then pass your ID and boarding document to them.
