I'm appalled at how #Digiyatra is unethically collecting photos for facial recognition. This was what happened at BLR T2 today...
I am not registered in Digiyatra. From the first entrance they shunted me at every entrance today morning to the very last one. Each and every security person was rude.
I reached the very last entry in the terminal and they shunted me again to the last queue which is for people without Digiyatra.
Note the fellow wearing the green t-shirt standing in front of the security person who is checking tickets and ID.
There were about 6 passengers in front of me. Whenever each passenger scans the boarding pass at the flap gate, one screen pops in front of them asking for their consent to have their photo taken.
This fellow in the green t-shirt will quickly reach and click 'Yes' on the screen before the passenger knows what is happening. Photo taken and off the passenger goes into the terminal.
I reached the gate and as soon as I scanned my boarding pass, I clicked 'No' on the screen before this green t-shirt fellow could react. I asked him why he is clicking the screen for people. Silence and the security guy gave me a stony stare and waved me to go in.
I'm sure one day this Digiyatra is going to have it's day in court. That day they will produce all of this consent collected by fraud and say "see lots of people are OK with it, why is one minority complaining". If those who oppose want, we will give them one queue in a corner of the airport to rot.
BTW, I have no problem if the Govt Of India collects this data. Not some random private Digiyatra Foundation.
@airindia your flight to Riyad showing boarding will start around 4 Am due to tyre change still not ready, staff has no clue. You should be transparent& follow TATA group Ethics of transparency. Fligjt was scheduled for 3 AM, already 90minutrs late.
