Sixty Minutes tonight had a segment on facial recognition. It’s scary what the government can do.

You've watched the program on Sixty Minutes? Do you realize you're "driving hits to a Lefty Network"? /s

It IS scary and intrusive what the goobermint can do is doing and WILL do. Facial recognition technology is being more refined every day. It's already a "login" feature of certain phones and PCs. Of course there are those of whom either naively believe it's innocuous or unbelievable. Right here at FR.

They SAY private companies are the only ones with no restrictions. I say BS. If you’ve ever posted a picture of yourself on the internet, your face is in the database.

Exactly. All done in the name of "security." The Patriot Act has been a big Trojan Horse excuse to declare war NOT on "terror," but on We The People.

Ah, the Patriot Act. As I’ve said before, I’m not a “truther” but I will not slam those who are. The Patriot Act was to be used against terrorists and “we the people”. To them, that’s one and the same.

Like I’ve said before. We all volunteered when we allowed the Patriot Act to be signed into law. And when we all HAD to be on, what they initially called, the “world wide web”.

We all HAD to have email.

We HAD to become even more narcissistic and post our private information and picture on the internet so everyone could see.

We HAD to have cell phones that will take pictures. The funny thing about that is I don’t remember the people clammering for picture phones. Just one day, they were there. And who’s to say those phones aren’t taking pictures all the time?

Bill Gates said “If you’re not on the web, you’ll be left behind.” And he was right. We are now forced to do business on the internet. It’s too late once you’ve entered your info. It’s there forever. And for those who say we can still mail in our bills, the post office won’t be around long and even now it’s not reliable.
