The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (DHS S&T) Resilient Systems Division has funded Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to
perform a face video data collection at the at the Toyota Center in Kennewick, WA. S&T is conducting this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to address privacy concerns raised by the
collection and use of facial recognition data.
There is just something really creepy about collecting face recognition as a permanent record anywhere. It is a privacy issue.
We know that companies (click here) are faced with access management problems. Employees are expected to remember multiple passwords with increasingly stronger password policies. With the new ESPRIMO X Line, Fujitsu is able to offer integrated face and voice technology that provides convenient security utilizing the camera module – all you need is a standard webcam and microphone.
The suspects were caught WITHOUT face recognition.

expert. But all that's going to change, soon (click here)

...What happened? I called up Carnegie Mellon computer scientist Alessandro Acquisti, an expert in online privacy who has conducted some provocative research involving facial recognition. In a series of experiments, Acqusti and his fellow researchers were able to use “off-the-shelf” facial recognition software to identify individuals by comparing photos from a dating site, or taken offline with camera phones, with photos uploaded to Facebook. The researchers were also able to figure out a startlingly large amount of personal information about the people they managed to identify. But if Acquisti could do it, why couldn’t the FBI?...
