The U.S. Department of Homeland Security will test its crowd-scanning facial recognition system, known as the Biometric Optical Surveillance System, or BOSS, at a junior hockey game this weekend, according to the Russian news agency RT.

With assistance from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, DHS will test its system at a Western Hockey League game in Washington state. The test will determine whether the system can distinguish the faces of 20 volunteers out of a crowd of nearly 6,000 hockey fans, to evaluate how successfully BOSS can locate a person of interest.

If it is like when the authorities logged the license plates in the vicinity of the DC sniper shootings, they keep ALL of the data (faces) for data processing.

Funny thing was, the gay Islamic supremacists went through several of those roadblocks but because the big brass had them looking for white guys in a van, they were permitted to kill again.

They tried this at the Super Bowl a few years ago and it was a dismal failure.

>>Time to buy a burka.<<

That’s brilliant! Well, unless you’re in Houston. You’d die of a heat stroke wearing one of those bee keeper outfits.

That’d be the half-time entertainment at a Winnie Mandela United Football Club game in Soweto.
