I have given up keeping my data private from the government. It’s impossible to avoid, so I signed up for Clear, etc because I know they have that information already.
Frankly, Clear and TSA-Pre makes my life so much easier and since I don’t commit crimes I’m not very worried… just a little worried.
For me its not about keeping my data private so much, more about making it harder for them to just have blanket easy access. I have a passport, precheck, global entry... they know who I am and where I go. But if I can make it just a little harder for the other gov agencies to know what I'm doing that's a win in my book.
I hate the excuse "since I don't commit crimes". It's not about that. If they want your info that you're not directly giving them, they can get a warrant.

What if it affects your ability to get work? Have you ever made or viewed any posts that could be considered political or made comments on a political post? What agenda do you support with those actions?
