The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport says that a security notice for "Electronic Genital Verification" that has gone viral on social media is not real or an authorized notice. The notice, allegedly posted in bathrooms at the busy airport, says that genitalia "may be photographed electronically" to screen for "improper restroom access."

...

The notice reads: "Security Notice Electronic Genital Verification (EGV): Your genitalia may be photographed electronically during your use of this facility as part of the Electronic Genital Verification (EGV) pilot program at the direction of the Office of the Lieutenant Governor. In the future, EGV will help keep Texans safe while protecting your privacy by screening for potentially improper restroom access using machine vision and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in lieu of traditional genital inspections.

"At this time images collected will be used solely for model training purposes and will not be used for law enforcement or shared with other entities except as pursuant to a subpoena, court order or as otherwise compelled by legal process. Your participation in this program is voluntary."

With the current regime in power in Texas, it’s so believable though.
