You’re making a choice not to share your biometrics because you don’t trust the company to use and protect your biometric data. Fair enough.
Shouldn’t I have the choice to trust them and get the improved service due to their being able to do the biometric check?
I’m not sure what you mean by privatizing access to federal services. You still have access to that service. If you mean privatizing the administration of the service, well TSA screeners are staffed by private contractors.
If you’re arguing that the federal government should even the playing field and provide the option to supply them with biometrics and get better service as a result (and get Clear out of the way), then I would certainly agree with that. But honestly I am not sure what you’re arguing for, other than denying people access to a service they are willing to make the privacy trade-off for because it bothers you they get through security faster than you do.
