Keep Your Face Private or Not

You want a drivers license, they take your picture.

You want a passport, they take your photo.

You want a triple shot grande mocha creme,latte with foam, your starbucks barrista needs to see your face to know it's you.

When the Prepay only gas station clerks see my face, they turn on the pumps because they know I'll pay.

Bank tellers same deal.

Genitals, that's a different story.

There are lots of people who are dead ringers for other people, as well as a few identical twins. It is hard to see how facial recognition could be as specific as DNA or fingerprints. After a few wrongful arrests, convictions, and "aggressive interrogations," this may not seem to be such a bright idea.

The city of Virginia Beach, Virginia spent several years and gobs of taxpayer money on a facial recognition system to "protect" the beachfront from known bad guys.

It failed miserably. Never detected any bad guys, though the police routinely picked up those with warrants.
