Face recognition was new and no one seemed sure exactly how well it was going to perform in practice. In theory, face recognition was poised to be a game changer, a force multiplier, a strategic military advantage, a way to make cities safer and to secure borders. This was the future John Ashcroft demanded with the Total Information Awareness act of the 2003 and that spooks had dreamed of for decades. It was a future that academics at Carnegie Mellon Universtiy and Colorado State University would help build. It was also a future that celebrities would play a significant role in building. And to the surprise of ordinary Internet users like myself and perhaps you, it was a future that millions of Internet users would unwittingly play role in creating. -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
