I see it this way: The guy that sold you the ticket at the front desk is also handling boarding. He recognized you...
Whatever will we do when we gain the ability to turn people’s memory into audio and video. It would mean that just be looking at something it is as if we are wearing google glass, and by hearing something it is as if we were “wearing a wire”?
How would that work in the face of laws governing recordings of conversations, etc.?
It’s definitely coming.

I don’t mind the use of facial recognition when traveling, as it usually cuts down on the long lines. What scares me, though, is when there is a mistake. The people operating the machines have an attitude that they’re never wrong.
The only thing Orwell got wrong was the year.
This ready in Europe...a couple of years I experienced this...I went through the face recognition 2 times ...2 different areas on the way to the plane...and the 2nd time I was denied boarding...at first...
a lady asked me if I had glasses on the 1st time...yes I remembered I had...that was why I was denied boarding...I put my glasses on and got the green light to board...
Scary eh ???
Should we use such a system to weed-out non-citizens, non-residents, duplicate votes at polling locations? How about using this to cross check against I.D. databases for multiple hits, the same face associated with different names? A possible counter for identity fraud, if coupled with a kinematic system which scores for a body’s physical movement match? The use against illegals for E-verify should pose less questions.
The use of the word “terrifying” in so many clickbait articles and videos is terrifying.
No more "voter suppression"!
No more voter ID!
Use facial recognition at all polling places!
Ban vote by mail!
OK, but, can I still get groped by TSA?
I read the article, and I am not terrified. Sounds like someone social justice warrior looking for a problem that doesn’t exist?
Does she really believe she can get on a plane without the company and the government keeping a permanent record of that travel? The days of anonymous travel stopped decades ago - don’t want your face scanned? Than you better not get a passport or a drivers license - don’t want the government or even private business to know where you are going? Good luck with that one.
When flying you’ve been tracked by your name, birthdate and more for a long time.
When driving you must carry government issued photo ID.
Voting? Not so much.
This was mandated by Congress, biometric identification has been in use at the land Ports of Entry for a while. If you enter/exit the country you have been subject to at least the information gathering/testing whatever for a while. Other countries use it for international travelers as well.
It is creepy, it is real, and like a lot of things can be used for good or bad. Some are now acting like and saying it is a Trump thing...but this was mandated by Congress years ago and took a while to come together.

Lolol “ consent “
Lolol “ consent “
Every time, I was thinking: Everything requires a photo-ID except to vote.
And of course: The Democrats want it that way for one reason; it makes it easier for them to commit voter fraud and thus facilitate the election of otherwise unelectable Democrat politicians.
Wasn’t the movie, “Total Recall”, one of the big movies of Arnold Schwarzenegger that used the technology to keep track of people?
I told them “no” - they then just scanned my boarding pass as normal.
My problem with bio-signatures is that I can’t change them. If the signature is stolen it can be used as “evidence” of me doing something, being somewhere, engaging in a transaction...etc.. At least with my credit card I can cancel and replace it.
Your drivers license photo is now fed into a facial recognition data base. It would not surprise me to find out airlines have been given access to this data base via the TSA.
Oh, yeah, P.S. welcome to the future pal. That pesky old 4th amendment, bah.
