“...human beings are very efficient at recognizing faces...”

I never felt that was true of me. I think I’d recognize a photo of someone I know, but I remember looking at the “WANTED” posters in the Post Office and thinking, I could walk right past one of those guys and I’d never recognize him.

My grandmother used to say that she couldn’t tell if something was a drawing or a photo, and I’m not talking about super-realistic drawings either. I could never figure out if she was pulling my leg (a distinct possibility) or not.

There was an old black & white, film noir, flick about this from early 50’s or late 40’s. Can’t remember the name of it, but that’s how they caught the culprit.

I think at the time of the Jack the Ripper murders, there was a belief that the eyes "captured" the last image they saw at the moment of death. They actually photographed one of the Ripper victim's eyes and analyzed enlargements.

The identity of the Ripper remains unknown.

I remember that there was attemps by Scottland Yard to photographer the eyes of Jack the Rippers Victims in hopes of getting something to help them ID him. Of course photography has come a long way since 1888, but it’s amazing that this was concidered way back when.

And just adjust the depth of field and you can run right up the optic nerve into the brain, enabling you to see the images stored there.

Trouble is, they are not “Date/Time Stamped”.

This will not be difficult, because we all know with enough “sharpening” and calculation time, that a single pixel can reveal the bug splats on a liscense plate.

They used to think this in the 19th century. What’s old is new again!

I have seen this used as a plot device in a couple of Korean shows, especially one about a super-hacker (everybody still using Windows XP though) called “Ghost”
