Technically, ABC telling XYZ to stop doesn’t mean XYZ have to necessarily stop and do actually stop.

DHS is not known for being very ethical in these things so I don't support any forms to collect personal information.
Telling DHS to stop a program unless and until Congress gets involved to regulate matters in this area isn’t a bad idea. It’s an even better idea if Congress manages to put in a regulatory scheme so we don’t end up as being full-time surveillance targets based on showing a face. People shouldn’t have to hide behind a full-face veil or light or heavy disguise in order to have a semblance of privacy while living an ordinary life.
