What
do you think about the use of face recoginition software in public spaces? If you are talking abou
the CIA, or where Maxwell Smart hangs out at, that is fine. Do we really have to be so
paranoid? I mean, the terrorists are winning, because they are making us afraid of our own
shadow. Where I work, they take the right precauations. They thoroughly check my ID, and
look into my bag...which is good. Some people even want to wear gloves to pick up the
mail. The way I look at it, Anthrax is a treatable disease. Besides, what is the worst
that could happen. I croak and I get to see the Legendary Big Guy Sarge, that does not
sound too bad to me.

Eh, i
don't really care.

I personally think it was in place a long
time ago and this is just a bid for public acceptance.

You mean to use as a security type thing?
Sure, I'm not seeing anything wrong with that.

It doesn't bother me. We lost our privacy a
long time ago. When we started using social security numbers and drivers' licenses for ID.

I believe it would help with keeping up with
who and when someone is in that particular building.

I have no problem with using face
recognition software in public places to apprehend both
major and petty criminals. I'd be downright enthusiastic if it were used to spot men and
women who are delinquent in paying child support.

It sounds like something straight out of
James Bond but what the hey! The world we live in is so scary that if this will keep some
nut from doing something that will hurt us, let's go for it.

The idea doesn't sit well with me. There is
nothing inherently onerous about the technology, but I don't trust the how we humans will
use it. Can you say Big Brother. How about totalitarian state.

Well, I just don't know if that would work
to well, unless it went by facial structure or something. Cause what if you did your
makeup different one day, or if you don't normally wear makeup and then decide to one day?
And with facial structure, what if you had plastic surgery, or what if you were in a bad
car accident, and your face was all rearranged. I think there would be problems.

Why would this occur? It strikes me as being
invasive and unnecessary, but I also think people shouldn't be oing things they don't want
to get caught doing. I mean, people should be allowed privacy, but they also shouldn't be
doing things they're ashamed of or would try to cover up.

I dont like the idea at all. I think
it's really interesting and fun to think about. But all
in all I believe it's really just too much.
Ry, 23
I don't have a problem with it. If it helps
get some of the dirtbags back in jail I'm all for it.
Jennifer, 19
Wilkes-Barre, PA USA
Hating to be so ignorant about this but I
simply don't know anything about it!
Fisch, 46

Uh...what? They better not! This society sounds
more and more like a science fiction novel every day.
Kristin, 20
IA USA
I do not personally have a problem with such
a system being implemented, but it would be just another brick in the wall, to borrow from
Floyd. It is the resurgence of these ideas (face recognition, national id, etc) that show
society as a whole is prepared to embrace the anti-utopian norms in exchange for personal
security. Is that a trade we are willing to make?
Aaron, 22
VA USA
It depends on how it is used.
Jane, 62
West Linn, OR

Sure, why not.
Johanna, 18
OK USA
Not sure.

I think that I
would want that kind of software if my child was missing but the rest of the time I would
feel like it was an invasion of privacy. That's not an easy one to weigh the pros and cons
about.
Celeste, 30

Kind of sounding like big brother a little
bit too much.
