From the article: "each traveler has to touch the same ID card or passport scanner. Then, immediately after touching the scanner, they have to touch their face again to put their mask back on."


It's a mag stripe reader isn't it, why do they have to touch it?

Presumably you can use hand gel, and take the actions serially.

And the whole thing is optional.

For now. Just like how going through the original "nude-o-scopes" was technically "optional" but TSA employees (I refuse to call them "officers") would give you no end of shit and pointlessly delay anyone who requested an opt-out.
