They have been using facial recognition software for boarding all of my flights to Canada over that last ~8 months. I'm assuming they are using a passport photo database for this?
Not that I'm necessarily a George Orwell enthusiast, but I don't recall any explicit consent that was asked of me to be able to board this way.

No one raised a big stink or class action lawsuit about facial biometrics for boarding international flights using passport photos so now they are expanding it to domestic flights using drivers license photos. APC kiosks were the thin end of the wedge to building the biometric database that now enables you to enter the country without any paper document. Likewise, this program will in 2-3 years, allow TSA to identify you by photo without any documents.

I am not sure how this supposed to speed up TSA Pre-Check process. Most times, the ID checking is not the bottleneck, it's the carry-on baggage scanning. Often, the TSA agent checking IDs has to stop so the bagger scanning can catch up.
