I had a similar thought last time I was in an airport for an international flight and instead of scanning my boarding pass and looking at my passport they just let everyone walk through and as you passed the door it would tell you your seat number.
When I was in Mexico I filed a report with the airport after an employee selling timeshares was overly aggressive and grabbed my arm and try to block me from leaving. Quickly they showed me a video of my entire time with all my movements at the airport so they could pinpoint the employee.
Like the article says I think it is just a matter of time until such systems are everywhere. We are already getting normalized to it at public transportation hubs with almost 0 objections. Soon most municipalities or even private businesses will implement it and no one will care because it already happens to them at the airport, so why make a fuss about it at the grocery store or on a public sidewalk.
