#3 He's afraid he'd be mistaken for a Mooselimb terrorist and he's right of course. Too bad for Sikhs I feel bad for them.

#4 Overall, it like all tech. It's coming and it ain't going away. Like nuclear weapons the best that can be hoped for is a very tight leash. On the one hand, it's creep as hell, especially if you are a squarejohn citizen minding your own business. On the other hand, if the cops are already actively looking for someone, there's a strong chance there's a good reason for that. Where the line is drawn is the rub.

#5 It's just another data set for PII (Personally Identifuabke Information). Any PII data can be mishandled, leaked, abused. Nothing particularly weird or unique about facial data.

Frankly I'd rather have my facial data stored with law enforcement than entrust Google with all the data they typically collect. I have no idea why people trust the latter more than the former.

#6 Used for ... what, exactly? The Stasi and Gestapo depended on typewriters and rooms full of file cards to support their villainy. It ain't the tool, it's the intent.

#8 All this wonderful tech might make travel more interesting, at least for those without gov or corp entanglements. In one generation we'll have gone from "Wow, that looks like an expensive camera... and I can run pretty fast," to "Hey, amigo, how's my new phone sound? Listen, there's three gabachxs coming in on the 3:15 that need robbing," to "Si, Comandante, they go for a run every morning at 0500. You say he's retired and childless... has type Rare blood, very attractive kidneys, and $97,000 in the bank... and his wife looks like that? Who says Christmas comes but once a year?"

Luckily, there's no corruption in this country, especially not in the big anonymous cities or way out in the sticks.
