I am employed in a maximum security correctional facility. A while back we had a system installed that takes pictures of a visitor’s face, and matches that with a national database. (They want to be sure gangbangers, known drug distributors, etc. don’t get in)

When we installed the system, the contractor needed someone to stand in front of the backdrop screen so they could adjust the lighting, camera angle, focus, etc.

Now before I go on, I need to point out that I am a male, in the second half of my 50s, overweight and with a very typical “ugly old guy” face.

The guy running the system took the picture, and ran it to check the system. “Hey! You got a match!” The damn thing thought I was some ugly old woman from the other side of the country.
