    Facial Recognition Goes Mainstream, Drawing Concerns

    https://www.wsj.com/articles/facial-...d=hp_lead_pos5

    Facial recognition is fast becoming embedded in everyday life. But as it improves, the technology is raising new privacy concerns.“Most American adults are in a face-recognition database accessible to law enforcement,” said Clare Garvie, a senior associate at Georgetown Law’s Center on Privacy & Technology, who studies the technology and its privacy implications.


    Facial technology can now be found in more schools and retail stores to help identify people who may pose a security risk. Some stores are also using facial recognition in an attempt to determine shopper sentiment, giving retailers the opportunity to adjust their sales pitch. One company in Israel claims its software can flag potential terrorists by scanning facial features and expressions alone.


    In this episode of Moving Upstream, WSJ’s Jason Bellini tests out facial-recognition systems at an elementary school in Seattle and at Florida’s Orlando International Airport. He finds the technology doesn’t always work as advertised.

    I believe they already use it in LV. Even wearing toupee and glasses, entering in a rental car, within 2 shoes, the pit addresses me by name, said I can flat bet or play other games.

    Two shoes would be plenty of time to evaluate you if the count does anything interesting in those shoes.

    Especially DD.

    I call BS on his being recognized by FR. He's doing his best to troll this thread and turn it into a multiple pager.

    It's hard to separate Zee's fact from fiction. I've long suspected that many if not most of his posts are a synthesis of other posts. APs have long advised to use rental cars to avoid license-plate recognition. Hence, Zee is "proving" the unreliability of real APs. IAE, his post is meaningless, since he brags about playing rated, anyway.

    The 21 year old always comes in to call me a troll, some 80% of his comments over the past few years features me.

    The particular instance happened at an M life property a couple of months ago. I always rent a car in Las Vegas. Maybe my OSN listing had something to do with it. I was not surprised at the decision but that they called me by name.

    The massive surveillance networks that countless dystopian authors have warned us about aren’t around the corner – they’re already here.

    Zee doesn't want to admit being in the blackbooks contributed to this. Surveillance probably had a picture of him on their podium from a BOLO. As soon as he gave his card at the wrong place a BOLO circulated all over Vegas alerting security to Be On the LookOut for this AP recently spotted in the area. The ones that worry about his action act quickly and the ones that don't know him do the same or do their own evaluation out of the gate. If you know you have been flyered you either don't play or you play like no counter would. Hopefully the latter will help pass scrutiny at places that do their own evaluation. Being in the OSN isn't as bad as being flyered but if they are searching data bases for you, there you are. The key is to keep them from searching to begin with. Some places' routine is to search if you do anything interesting.

Some places search automatically if you do anything interesting.
    I was comped at one of their hotel. They probably knew. However, I did play both, rated and unrated, all over Las Vegas. Thus, if they flyered me, it wasn't that effective.

    Your lack of understanding cracks me up. Especially because all this has been explained to you too many times. I will not be baited into explaining it again. You just can't be that stupid. So I will assume you aren't and you are doing more trolling. Not taking the bait.

    That is the opposite of automatic. Otherwise, I thought your post was excellent analysis of the issues.

    Go read your own post again. You said I was flyered all over town and all that just because I was backed off in one place in Law Vegas. Just because I said I was backed off in one place in Law Vegas, you mentioned that they would have spread the word all over. I played in 9 other casinos in Las Vegas on my trip.

    You and the idiot try too hard to take anything I say, a counter measures in local casinos or a back off in Las Vegas to my having played rated or been put on OSN as if no one playing anonymously gets backed off.
