Air Travel as a Data Pipeline: How Modern Airports Operationalize Continuous Biometric and Behavioral Collection

This work analyzes how modern airports have evolved into full-spectrum data environments that collect and correlate biometric, behavioral, and device-level telemetry at every stage of travel. From parking and check-in to security, retail, and boarding, the passenger journey generates continuous digital traces across multiple Ubiquitous Technical Surveillance (UTS) vectors. The piece highlights implications for identity convergence, commercial analytics, security policies, and the limits of informed consent.
