How do you feel about facial biometrics for thermal screening? Now you may get more than a lei greeting when you arrive at Hawaii airports.

This is definitely a civil rights violation/tyranny of hawaii govt. they need to be held accountable and this tech disabled immediately
Question for anyone who’s traveled AA from DFW to Hilo via Honolulu with plane change to Hawaiian Airlines in Honolulu. Does the “within 72 hours of departing on the last leg of their trip to Hawaii” apply to departing DFW for Hilo or departing Honolulu for Hilo? Any issue changing terminals?
Also, any issues for anyone using CareNow for pre-testing? Thanks so much!
Hi Connie.
It is within 72 hours of the flight from DFW to Honolulu.
Aloha.
Thank you BOH!
Us pre-menopausal women are screwed! 🔥
The ACLU has a penchant for histrionics, one of the reasons that their messaging is shrugged off as extreme sometimes. Considering the history of Europeans having gifted Hawai’ians with fatal diseases in the 18th century, nearly wiping out Polynesian life & culture, I accept Gov. Ige’s take, and would ignore the Civil Liberties Union in this instance.
Hi Beat of Hawaii
Just wanted to give a heads up about traveling to Hawaii and the safe travels program. We received out negative test back from a qualified provider (Kaiser). When we uploaded it – safe travels stated it would not accept it. We have used this system back in October. Thankfully we received early this morning because it took 1/2 day to get through to someone with safe travels. They are having an issue with the app. Not a good feeling at all. Just a HEADS UP for travelers.
I (a fully vaccinated RN) travelled to Puerto Vallarta at the end of April and was greeted by these thermal cameras at the PV airport both upon arrival and departure. I assume that if HI is going to use them, that there will also be rapid COVID testing set up at the airport to test passengers with a fever, as pathogens other than COVID can cause an increased temperature. (And FYI, I developed a fever 72 hrs after I got home, most likely from a gastrointestinal pathogen I picked up in Mexico–I did more COVID testing and it was negative. I had already been tested for COVID in Mexico 48 hrs before my return flight).

I have no problem with this testing for elevated temperature at all. It’s put into place to protect the majority of people. I don’t see anything sinister about it and I have nothing to hide.
Aloha Guys
Omg!!
Don’t have a hat/cap on. This elevates your temp. Nothing on your head for at least 15 prior to leaving plane.
Tested over 100.4 at location. Had cap on and a light jacket. Had to wait at least 30 minutes before proceeding.
You know how warm it gets in a plane when everyone is deplaning.
Also, the departing tunnel is not cooled. Maybe airlines will leave the cooling air on longer. Ugh!!!
