How much damage will be done to the public’s eyes shooting IR beams into them at every conceivable opportunity? Government will want to track your movements, or at the very least scan for fugitives, and marketing firms always build up their data pools on the public’s habits.

Conclusions:
The protein of eye lens is very sensitive to IR radiation which is hazardous and may lead to cataract.

How quickly will sunglasses and contacts be created and marketed that blocks these scans?

They don’t need to use iris scanning, biometric scanning can determine from the shape of your head.

Facebook now suggests tagging (or even autotags) people in uploaded photos (it IDs the person and asks if you want to tag them).
