Passport ID technology risky
p2pnet.net News:- In spite of warnings that face-recognition technology is prone to error, plans to use it for US passports are proceeding.
Anyone who claims that facial recognition technology is an effective law enforcement tool is probably working for the one of the companies trying to sell it to the government, says the American Civil Liberties Union here.
However, "Under State Department specifications finalized this month for companies to bid on the new system, a chip woven into the cover of the passport would contain a digital photograph of the traveler’s face," says a Washington Post story here.
"That photo could then be compared with an image of the traveler taken at the passport control station, and also matched against photos of people on government watch lists."
