Everyone is already in a database. NSA has scraped these sites already and tagged the data using Palantir’s tech. All they have to do is scan your passport and use your data and biometrics to pull a file up. The only thing they need is your permission to make it legal. If you want to enter you have to give permission.

Then why do they need you to submit anything?

So they can pretend that they don’t have this database already.

So they can try and catch an innocent mistake and arrest you for lying to them.

Delete the biometrics that provide access.

I don’t mean biometrics to unlock your phone. I just mean your face and fingerprints, which they take a photo of when you enter the US. They will use that to scan for matches in a database.
