Why Everyone Needs a Biometrics Trust in the Age of Unrestricted Surveillance

This article proposes a solution to Dr. Sherri Tenpenny's article "Blanket Informed Consent for Biologics Could Be Deadly: What You Need to Know and Need to Do"

The world has quietly shifted into a new era—one where your face, your fingerprints, your voiceprint, your gait, and your DNA are rapidly becoming the currency of digital identification. Airports scan you. Doctor’s offices store you. Corporations track you. And much of it happens automatically, without true informed consent.

But there is a powerful, lawful tool almost no one is talking about:

a Biometrics Trust.

This emerging strategy takes your most personal identifiers and transforms them into private property owned by a trust, placing them firmly outside the reach of automatic scanning, forced collection, and implied consent.

Here’s why it works—and why everyone needs one.

1. A Biometrics Trust Turns Your Body Data Into Private Property

Most people don’t realize this: legally, your biometric markers are treated as identifiers, not property. That means corporations and agencies claim they can take, store, analyze, or profile you using “implied consent.”

But the moment you declare your:

  • Facial geometry

  • Fingerprints

  • Iris pattern

  • Voiceprint

  • DNA

  • Digital likeness or avatar

  • Gait/posture pattern

…as assets of a private irrevocable trust, you change the category entirely.

Now they are trust property — and anything that interferes with trust property requires explicit authorization from the trustee.

This strips away the system’s entire reliance on implied consent.

Legally, your biometric markers are treated as identifiers, not property. That means corporations and agencies claim they can take, store, analyze, or profile you using “implied consent."

2. Unauthorized Biometric Collection Becomes a Tort Against a Separate Legal Person

If you personally object to being scanned, the system treats it as a complaint.

If a trust objects, it becomes:

  • Trespass to chattels

  • Conversion of trust property

  • Misappropriation of likeness

  • Unlawful collection of trust assets

You aren’t just saying “I don’t consent.”

You’re speaking as a fiduciary protecting property owned by a separate legal entity.

That carries far more legal weight and creates personal liability for the collector.

3. Corporations Cannot Claim “Implied Consent” Against a Private Trust

Airports, medical facilities, retailers, banks, and even tech giants rely on one thing:

“You walked through our building, therefore you consented.”

But a private trust expressly rejects implied or constructive consent.

This means:

  • Your body data cannot be harvested “by default”

  • Scanning cannot be justified by walking through a doorway

  • “Policy” does not equal “authorization”

  • The trust must give express, written consent.

  • Because you don’t personally own the data anymore—you can’t waive the trust’s rights even by accident.

4. A Biometrics Trust Forces the Collector to Prove Jurisdiction

This is one of the most powerful parts.

TSA, hospitals, and corporations operate on statutory presumptions, meaning they presume jurisdiction over individuals.

But a private trust is:

  • Not a resident

  • Not an individual

  • Not a customer

  • Not a statutory person

  • Not subject to public jurisdiction

So if someone tries to collect data, the question becomes:

“Do you have jurisdiction over this private trust and its property?”

Most agencies know they don’t.

Most corporations won’t even attempt to answer.

5. Trustees Can Issue Non-Consent Notices That Actually Hold Weight

Instead of the vague, powerless “I don’t consent,” a Biometrics Trust allows the trustee to issue a formal notice such as:

“As trustee, I do not authorize the collection, storage, analysis, or dissemination of trust-owned biometric identifiers.”

Now you’re speaking in:

  • Property law

  • Trust law

  • Contract/consent law

  • Fiduciary authority

Employees are trained not to violate private property rights—especially trust property—because it carries real liability.

As trustee, I do not authorize the collection, storage, analysis, or dissemination of trust-owned biometric identifiers.

6. If They Collect Anyway, You Have Multiple Paths for Remedy

A trust gives you a stronger foundation to claim damages under:

  • Statutory Privacy laws (Federal and State)

  • Property torts

  • Misappropriation of likeness laws

  • Contract/consent violations

Instead of one avenue of recovery, you have four.

That increases settlement leverage, speeds up enforcement, and allows most cases to fit inside small claims court, where individuals actually win. Check out our small claims army membership.

7. A Biometrics Trust Restores Real Bodily Autonomy

This is the deeper reason.

We are entering an era where biometric surveillance is normalized:

  • Touchless payments

  • Facial scans at airports and concerts

  • Doctor’s offices storing DNA

  • Apps tracking gait and posture

  • Cars storing voiceprints

  • Schools keeping children’s facial scans

Most of this is happening without meaningful informed consent.

A Biometrics Trust reclaims:

  • Your bodily autonomy

  • Your consent rights

  • Your privacy boundaries

  • Your ability to enforce those boundaries

By turning biometrics into private property, you reassert control over your own biology in a system that is rapidly eroding it.

8. Your Children Need One Even More Than You Do

Children’s biometrics are being collected at alarming rates:

  • School check-ins

  • Pediatric hospitals

  • Airports

  • Apps and devices

  • Social media facial recognition

A Biometrics Trust gives parents lawful authority to say:

“This minor’s identifiers are trust property. You are prohibited from collecting or storing them.”

It’s one of the most important modern protections a parent can put in place.

9. In a World of Blanket Informed Consent, A Biometrics Trust Is the Escape Hatch

Blanket informed consent for biologics, medical interventions, and digital surveillance is expanding quickly. Many institutions assume:

  • You consent to everything by entering their space

  • Your silence equals agreement

  • Your presence equals permission

  • Your usage of a device equals a data release

A private trust legally destroys those presumptions.

It reintroduces explicit consent as the only valid standard.

10. A Biometrics Trust Is Easy to Maintain and Protects You for Life

Once created, a Biometrics Trust protects you every time you walk into:

An airport

A doctor’s office

A courthouse

A school

A workplace

A stadium

A voting center

A retail store

A government building

You never leave your privacy unprotected again - as long as you have the confidence to enforce your trust.
