Lawmakers are questioning the extensive use of facial recognition technology after the Government Accountability Office revealed that the FBI can scan about 640 million pictures, to include drivers licenses, passport photos and mug shots. Further, recent reports revealed that federal law enforcement agencies are mining driver’s license databases in 21 states for information without the consent or knowledge of American’s in the system.

Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, warned on Twitter Tuesday that the government’s unlimited and unauthorized access to private information “should concern every American.” He linked a fantastic story published on Reason.com. The article lays out the arguments and reveals the extent of what federal law enforcement can access from databases in terms of individual privacy.

And the (R)N(C) will, yet again, wag their fingers and shrug their shoulders, “We *tried*” (what/when/how hard they can’t say).

From the same great ‘protectors’ and enforcers of the Constitution that gave us: the Patriot Act, TSA, NSA and the like.

Shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that govt would grow and expand past their ‘expectations’ *spit*

Both parties have combined and conspired to give Deep State and NSA all the spying power they want. Initially under the guise of fighting terror (the nebulous boogey man). No checks and balances. They are complicit. Paul Ryan was always threatening to hold up the power, but he caved. Mitch is hopelessly bought and paid for. They all get their pay off, good job, allowed to live, whatever.

One of the reasons to not go an visit a doctor today is that the government digitally gets every detail.

There is no such thing as doctor patient confidentiality anymore. Americans gave it all away without a whimper.
