I've recently traveled outside Australia and used the facial recognition "smart" system. It was completely non-obvious that we could opt-out - it was only implied by the text.
After going through security, I asked an official if I could've opted out. They said yes, and said I could flag someone down.
When I returned, I tried to do so - but there was no-one around! Its an automated system, and almost impossible to opt out of.
Airport security is full of dark patterns when it comes to privacy.
