Yes, get the wrap around for more protection.

Like similar biometric technologies — fingerprint or facial recognition systems — the Carnegie Mellon project uses mathematical pattern-recognition techniques. The technology captures images from a live photographic or video feed and runs them through a database to find a potential match.
Like fingerprints, every iris is unique — thanks to enormously complex patterns that remain the same throughout a person’s lifetime. High-resolution cameras can capture images of the iris from a distance using light in the near-infrared wavelength band.
In the realm of law enforcement, iris recognition could be used to identify suspects at long range in various lighting conditions. The system can even be used to capture images through reflections in a mirror.
The CMU team recently posted a video successfully testing the system in a typical traffic stop scenario. Using the long-range iris scanner, the system was able to identify the driver of a vehicle by capturing an image of the eye via the side-view mirror. You can see the results below.

Want a driver's license?
As a veteran of the '80's I had no idea that my fingerprints would later be stored in a database and would be the first searched for potential suspects.
FBI digitizes millions of records to prepare for Next Generation Identification system
Incrementally replacing the FBI’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS), the new system is designed to better serve its high-profile users, including law enforcement agencies checking criminal histories and fingerprints, veterans, government employees, and the FBI’s own laboratory.
I dunno if this qualifies as the Mark of the Beast.
It’s not voluntarily accepted.
Yeah - to hell with that fourth amendment.
Don’t get a driver’s license if you don’t want to be in the database.
That was a good movie. You could even say prescient.
There is no 4th amendment for your face when you show your face in public.
So what action do you propose if someone needs to drive a vehicle?
Don't drive and walk instead?
I did hear several years ago that there is a technology that can locate rifle scopes that are pointed toward the user.
This isn’t your face. It is more like your fingerprints.
When you go to get a new license, wear contact lenses that screen out IR light.
Yes, get the wrap around for more protection.
I suspect, the next time you go to the DMV to get your license renewed, the camera that takes your picture will also do an iris scan, as will the booking camera if you are ever arrested for anything.
And NOT having your iris scan in the database will probably subject you to extra scrutiny. And an iris scan.
Want a driver's license?
I'd been able to keep my fingerprints out of the database until the last time my DL was renewed. Not happy about that new requirement.
Got a link on how/where to purchase those?
Been a moot point for me for so long it doesn’t even bother me any longer.
eyes wide shut???
It's a free business idea for you.
And I would be willing to bet that once it's all in place an immediate evaluation would be available and you would be asked if you had such contacts on.
That was my conclusion.
And when you are in public and touch a door or sign or a fence post, you leave those behind. There is no expectation of privacy in public spaces. If you dont want pictures taken of your eyes, wear sunglasses or contact lenses.
