Same with drivers licenses and passports having a photo requirement too
The TSA photos are worse. They use a stereoscopic camera to take a 3d image of your head, which makes facial recognition up to 10x more accurate.
You can opt out, just say you do (and preferably cover the camera with your hat or bag)

And then be flagged and 10x more targeted because of that
WiFi 7 Sensing is bringing similar functionality to consumer routers and many laptops, with the bonus of passing through walls.

You're free to take the bus, or hire a chauffeur. A private pilots license doesn't have any pictures either.
A US pilot certificate itself does not include a photo, but you must have a photo ID to use it. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/part-61/section-61.3#p...
For better or worse, we didn’t have to make such hard choices for the first 80 years of aviation. And Greyhound etc require photo ID these days as well
That’s not a freedom. That’s a restriction that reduces the amount of choices you have for potentially worse ones.
