But one of the requirements of Real ID is that the photo must be capable of being read by facial recognition software. They are clearly creating a better database.

Because fingerprint scanners cost majorly big bucks and have constant upkeep requirements. . The App is pennies by comparision.

Depends on how you define portable. They are wired into the car and laptop. Some models can be a completely separate laptop. there are handheld models out there, but very few agencies are going to drop that coin.

Camera hardware has finally started to catch up to the software. Distributed computing and edge analytics will bring a world where your data (ie your life) will be monitored, analyzed and archived at almost real-time speeds.

Many groups in US and EU have well founded concerns about privacy issues that this type of technology brings to the table.

Which brings up another point to be made about data privacy....A 2a point.

Routinely you see discussions about gun registration and how that leads to confiscation. No lists has always been our stance as a group, for the most part. No lists of owners. No lists of transactions. No giant list of guns, well except those scary NFA items. Which very much would make confiscation harder.

Now that we have discussed ancient history let’s talk modern world. We live in a world where companies collect and store data on everything from bearing temps to occupancy levels to how often you log into your email, FOREVER.  Now with that data comes all kinds of metadata. Time place reliability origin path etc.

The government of the US has been actively collecting and archiving yours mine and everyone else’s metadata for quite a while now. Think NDAA. Now using that data it wouldn’t be hard to put some analytics together and then use some additional machine learning to polish your list. And we have “how you say? A bingo”.

This list would be more accurate than a list produced from any record keeping system that the Democrats could dream up.

Every time some one here makes a reference to the “hive” or GD mindset or the “average” ARFCOMER I think about this very thing. It’s not just us it could also be used to produce a list of just about anything given enough time and data.

EDIT TO ADD:  “But, it’s ok we promise to only use it on the “bad” guys.”

I don't think there is ANY DOUBT that these things you suggest could come to fruition.

I have been saying as much, in a much more imprecise way, for MANY, MANY years.

I simply cannot disagree with anything you postulate......ALL OF THAT IS VERY POSSIBLE.

Some will call us tinfoilers…….they would have a point but look how quickly our intelligence agencies were usurped to carry out draconian and nefarious political activities.

I say quickly because it really has not been that long since the "computer revolution" started.
