The FBI launched it's newest facial recognition program this week, but it really isn't facial anymore. It recognizes iris, voice, and gait as well. Previous attempts to get people to willingly accept facial recognition through Faebook tagging did not go as planned when people began to tag their dogs, cats, toes on the beach, favorite chairs, cups of coffee, and other inanimate objects. What do you think about the latest software being applied to your face?

First of all LOL for the tagging comment, well done... well done.

Second Facial recognize me all you want, because my face changes as my weight fluctuates. So that can be a daily change depending on whose BBQ I have attended. The same thing applies to voice, as weight can change the tenor of the voice. Now iris... hmmm... have to figure that one out.

I think a hat with a bill may still be the best defense at least until those complete head things like Arnold Schwarzenegger used in Total Recall are perfected.

CPO Jon Campbell More and more Orwellian by the day. The things we accept blithely pretending to be good stewards of our liberty.

The best and most reliable form of identification is facial recognition. This was 27 years ago while working as an MP on the gate. It was only a matter of time before the system caught up with us all!

P.S. I do like Person of Interest and believe that each little camera above each red light now dimes you out for texting on the phone at stop lights!

Never understood the 100% ID check way back when they really weren't necessary for daily computer use. I worked the gates at Camp Zama Japan, where the officers and NCOs would leave the Corps HQ and come across the street to the other side of post, leadership made me check ID even when recognizing every single person I saw come through the gate daily for 2-3 years!

General Westmoreland used to come onto the Coast Guard base in Charleston every week to go to the exchange. I was standing behind him once when someone scrutinized his ID. His face was a peculiar shade of red. You never know though - the North Koreans might have cloned him and sent him to buy a bottle of scotch and you just can't be too careful.

I have Westy's autograph on my wall as a matter of fact! Historical man he is, never had the opportunity to stand so close to him!

He lived on the battery in Charleston just a down the street from the base, so we saw him quite often when he came on to go the exchange. I should have asked him for his autograph, but never got up the nerve.
