Facial recognition tech booms despite accuracy concerns. Police arrests surge while airports and restaurants trial facial payments and passport-free travel.

A big biometric security company in the UK, Facewatch, is in hot water after their facial recognition system caused a major snafu - the system wrongly identified a 19-year-old girl as a shoplifter.

    Thanks for the informative and thought out reply.

    Also, thanks for killing my joke business idea by mentioning a brand that makes these.

    I would like to see them in the rim of a cap too. As I always have a cap in my head.

    Edit: Hot damn they’re expensive. Business idea is back.

    Edit 2: If they have blockers to block IR. Would UV light have the same issue or other wavelengths that are not visible to humans.

    Edit 3: UV is dumb. We don’t need cancer.

    Final solution is we all convert to Islam and pretend to be women.
