anyone here concerned about the billion dollars the us gov't is spending on facial recognition software and database? ... it's not even just the face - the software can identify you from side profiles and what not as well ...

I continue to find it frightening that we bicker and argue about things like guns when there are real threats to our freedom that many will ignore because it 'protects our safety'. The uses for these types of technologies by both the government and corporations scares the shit out of me!
Hopefully, our dear friend will have her ban lifted and soon!
Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

"Bullshit is the glue, that BINDS us as a nation. Where would we be without our safe, familiar, American bullshit? Land of the free, home of the brave, the American dream, all men are equal, justice is blind, the press is free, your vote counts, business is honest, the good guys win, the police are on your side, God is watching you, your standard of living will never decline… and everything is going to be just fine— The official national bullshit story. I call it the American okie doke. Every one, every one of those items is provably untrue at one level or another, but we believe them because they're pounded into our heads from the time we're children."

Revealed: NSA collecting phone records of millions of Americans daily
Exclusive: Top secret court order requiring Verizon to hand over all call data shows scale of domestic surveillance under Obama

The Guardian, Wednesday 5 June 2013
The National Security Agency is currently collecting the telephone records of millions of US customers of Verizon, one of America's largest telecoms providers, under a top secret court order issued in April.
The order, a copy of which has been obtained by the Guardian, requires Verizon on an "ongoing, daily basis" to give the NSA information on all telephone calls in its systems, both within the US and between the US and other countries.
The document shows for the first time that under the Obama administration the communication records of millions of US citizens are being collected indiscriminately and in bulk – regardless of whether they are suspected of any wrongdoing.
The secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (Fisa) granted the order to the FBI on April 25, giving the government unlimited authority to obtain the data for a specified three-month period ending on July 19...
