Automation locks in the status quo essentially forever. Human agents can and are expected to use executive judgement when conducting themselves, and are held accountable for abuse. Automated systems just endlessly watch us, with no "person" ever at fault for any transgressions.
It's simply a bad faith argument to compare a detective watching a single individual to every single person in a large international airport, because one must have a causal justification for their actions while the second simply performs it's programming, endlessly.
If we're going to become endlessly surveilled and tracked, we as a society should at least has the smallest bit of dignity and complain about it. If we all let our privacy be eroded so tacitly, we go down like dogs.
