This kind of thing should have never been implemented. Stuff like this does not belong and what is supposed to be a free society. Here's one of the fundamental problems with it, you have no recourse with the airlines when they are doing this improperly. Your choice is to surrender yourself to an illegal search or not go on the flight.
And for people who don't understand what that means. Go and read the CDC rules because a lot of airlines have not. The only people who have to provide contact tracing are those who are not United States citizens or lawful permanent residents. Airlines instead implement this as a blanket policy. Now not all airlines and they didn't always used to do it as a blanket policy but more and more have started to implement this in a way that they don't understand if you are a United States citizen you do not have to provide this and you cannot be denied entry into your country because you failed to provide this.
The reason the CDC cannot require this of United States citizens or lawful permanent residents is simply because it's an illegal search and seizure. they know it that's why it's specifically exempted. But when they've empowered a third party private agency to collect the information and you have no recourse to dispute those policies your only choices to fly or not to fly we are living in a police state at that point.
