I expect company (private) and public cameras will disappear, as crime by government increases.

Because the government wants to lie and tell its “story” (”the narrative”).

The problem for government that lies, is that, as its crimes increase, more of its members see THE GOVERNMENT is obviously the criminal.

Government can lie and hurt many millions of people, but government cannot completely stamp out:

Truth

Nor, stamp out the birth of people who are born with:

The truth gene. That leads to a tree of liberty.

That isn’t a good metric for a successful system. One could easily argue that only proves how successful this system is since it has deterred terrorists from even attempting to board an aircraft.

When this get cheap enough, we can use it for voter ID.

At that point, the dems will tell us that black people disproportionately don’t have faces.

I think they are already using it at cruise ports. Returning from a cruise, no longer need to go through immigration to show proof of US citizenship.

Yes, my wife and I came through New York cruise port after being in the Caribbean for 2 weeks we had our bags rolled along never had to stop never broke our stride big picture showed our faces and we were allowed to keep moving. Kind of neat in a way. Kind of scary in a way.

I am not concerned. I have been finger printed dozens of times for back ground and security checks in my line of work. Nearly all of us are on file with the DMV or State Department. What pisses me off is the illegals just walking around without a care.

And how many people are foolish enough to willingly give the government, sorry, genetic testing companies like 23 and Me, a DNA sample they can plant anywhere.

For me it was Heathrow, in London last year. Wanted to turn around and come home, immediately. After a week there, I wished I had. England made my skin crawl. A distinct 1984 feel to it, with mostly foreign speaking brown people everywhere.

So what is the problem they are trying to solve?

I have a paid ticket, for one paid seat.

Take me to my destination.

Oh, I may be a terrorist, I guess, on the watch list.

Yeah, that watch list, the one that puts you at the front of the line at the border.

Taxi drivers don’t do facial on me (yet, I think).

I don’t think they have facial cameras at the state borders on the freeways (yet).

Why do they need to ID travellers, anyway? So they know exactly who went exactly where exactly when? Why?

I go back and forth to SE fairly often if it makes getting to the gate sooner, I’m fine with it.

I figure by this time they have hundreds of photos of me anyway so a few more isn’t going to change anything...

From the ACLU lawsuit article in 2018....

“Our test used Rekognition to compare images of members of Congress with a database of mugshots. The results included 28 incorrect matches. The false matches were disproportionately of people of color, including six members of the Congressional Black Caucus, among them civil rights legend Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.).”

Thanks.

Can you help me find a link to document this big failure.

My little Chromebook is not able to find a link.

Thanks

No worries we drove from FL to Dallas TX instead of flying. On our way back to FL as I type.

They’ve been using this on cruise ships for a few years already.
