Debt of Honor by Tom Clancy 1994. A crazed individual hijacks an airliner and crashes it into The Capital killing most of Congress. The only piece Clancy left out were the passengers. Clancy always said he didnt invent the plots of his books but the info was out there if you did your research. The best thing about America is the first amendment. Theres all kinds of info out there if someone is willing to do the research. And there were things he knew that would make good novels but were just too dangerous to write about.
Hindsight, baloney!
Amazon’s facial recognition matched 28 members of Congress to criminal mugshots
The American Civil Liberties Union tested Amazon’s facial recognition system — and the results were not good. To test the system’s accuracy, the ACLU scanned the faces of all 535 members of congress against 25,000 public mugshots, using Amazon’s open Rekognition API. None of the members of Congress were in the mugshot lineup, but Amazon’s system generated 28 false matches, a finding that the ACLU says raises serious concerns about Rekognition’s use by police.
Those of us in the CJ field know the shortcomings of facial recognition software at this point in time. Here's another secret: RFID tags (attached to merchandise to prevent shoplifting), radar guns, and breathalyzers are even more suspect.
But all cops are honest and only they should have guns so none of this matters anyway.
El Al has been using a similar systems for years with positive results. Not really intrusive. Just common sense way to quietly observe if someone is acting out of the ordinary.
