FTC Wants Your Input

The Federal Trade Commission is exploring ways to develop new facial recognition technology and it wants your input. The FTC explored the future commercial applications of facial recognition technologies at a recent workshop. It's asking for public comment to answer questions that came out of that meeting. Those include: how consumers can benefit from the technologies?; what privacy and security might arise?; and what are best practices for providing consumers with notice and choice with these new technologies? The deadline for filing comments is Jan. 31, 2012. (FTC)

The FTC doesn't want your INPUT. They want your PICTURE! Asking for your input is like asking the Jews which train car they preferred. Why didn't anyone stand up and ask WHY the FTC was "exploring" facial recognition? So when you are stopped at a Nazi checkpoint, they can instantly compare your "story" to their database? Can't always trust those freedom loving Americans to truthfully identify themselves to the authorities, ya know...
