Pretty sure this is what the EU is also introducing, instead of passport stamps and border agents.
It’s 1 person sitting in a booth verifying 8+ automatic passport and “person scanner” (ie, takes a photo and fingerprints of you). Matches entries and exits to the Schengen zone. They approve you, and you pass through the gate.
Not sure about the “retention” aspect, tho. Certainly retained for the 90 days in a 180 day period thing. Beyond that? I dunno.
But any border control zone is going to have CCTV which will have its own image retention policy.
Not for a tourist visa. That’s just target with a “you have 4 hours to shop”.
I’ll be honest, I don’t get the shopping at target mugshot reference thing.
Any country you visit will stamp your passport on entry and exit.
The EU is in the process of automating that by taking biometrics and foregoing the passport stamps (https://www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/travel-europe-european-entryexit-system-ees_en so far, it’s automated gates with a passport scanner, a mugshot and fingerprints)
Sounds like the US is as well
This is been what the US was I think already doing. You were able to opt out though but it requires a more thorough examination and shit. Now not so much.

I have a feeling the whole retention thing is gonna fly out the window once they start feeding it to the ai models for “training” purposes.
Might just be my pessimistic ass tho.
The worst things you can imagine them doing in the future have already been planned and approved.
It isn’t pessimistic.
The world is completely fucked right now.
Getting a visa is different than basically getting a mugshot taken to go shop at Target.
