I had to scan my face a hundred times already for a hundred different places...

Hell, I live in a closed colony and the only way in is with a face scan. My biometric data is surely for sale in a hundred different places by now, so I guess I don't really care anymore

Its not like I have an option if I still want to get home

Yeah same here. I mean you're getting scanned everywhere now, like the grocery store, but I'm not linking my computer to my face. I will say going through the airport in Japan is a breeze compared to the shit show in US airports.

I get off the plane, get in line to check in and get my sticker, set up luggage delivery, and walk out.
