I have had snarky comments from agents from time to time.
my favorite remark is ” what are you afraid from going into the store and getting recorded?” To which I replied ” no. Cuz they aren’t running photo recognition software the moment I walk in to the store. Are you saying you are running it illegally here at the airport without my consent? Then you wouldn’t need my ID anyway already.” Silence and ID handed back.
I'm very polite and I ask if I can opt out, rather than making it a demand. I fly frequently and so far all the agents have been very polite back. Hopefully it stays that way.
