    I ran into facial recognition at the airport recently an opted out, but what are the likely and worst case consequences of allowing yourself to be profiled?

    I’ve heard of false arrests because of it, but it seems like those issues while be resolved with time.

      Well “with time” is not something that can be afforded for many of us. Your life could be ruined before that point.

      Well you’re giving governments and companies personally identifiable data willingly of yourself. More problematic is the companies part. This will be sold and given to other parties. Eventually the elite will have a database of everyone’s face. You’ll walk the streets and cameras will know who you are and where you are at all times. Not a joke, check out avigilon cameras.

      You get murdered by police while sleeping in your bed because their facial recognition database misidentified you as the suspect
