The current events, and particularly their coverage in the US media, which was more like nationalistic warmongering, have led me to comparing the state of public affairs in the US to George Orwell's famous book... not such a pretty thing. Now that the US government are considering so many new intrusions into the freedom of its people (encryption backdoors, facial recognition cameras, easier arrests of non-nationals) I can imagine that the days of exercise in front of the telescreen each morning might not be so far away. Is the US brand of capitalism finally showing itself to have much the same teleology as its antithesis? I know many are beginning to look on America with fearful reservations (but not you, my American friends). ??

encryption backdoors, facial recognition cameras If you listen to the rumours these and many more intrusions are already in place, and have been for a while. Who was it who said 'You have no privacy. Get over it.'? cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

I believe we already have a facial recognition system at certain UK airports.

that's from Sun's boss, Scott McNealy. The chief executive officer of Sun Microsystems said Monday that consumer privacy issues are a "red herring."

Little Johnny Howard can't organise any policy regarding computers or even on-line gambling. No chance he has facial recognition software running anywhere, where still living in the 1950's in his mind.

Who is Johnny Howard? - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

I always thought facial recognition technology is still in very primitive form. I mean the advance in this technology for the last couple of years is not very great compare to other part of computer technology. Obviously it is not like in some holywood movie where any man face can be analyze and matched with stored data, but if this technology is already exist and mature, then I can imagine it will take so much budget to employee this technology across part of United state.
