I just wanted to point out that intro 217 isn't a full blanket ban on biometric surveillance, and there are exceptions, especially when it comes to pay by palm at grocery stores or verification at the airport for travel documents.
3:24:21
So I just wanna be clear that intro 217 is not saying no.
3:24:27
And we recognize that there are some industries that require biometric surveillance for its functions.
3:24:34
So I just wanted to point that out.
