My campus just switched to facial recognition. It looks cool and, when it works, just adds a few seconds to the annoying mass migration during the morning and afternoon rush through the campus gate.

Some people want to be serfs. Why not just get “chipped” like they do with pets?
Johnhenry, you are woefully uniformed of the dangers. But that is one way they get sheeple to give up rights….’look how convenient…..’
