Embracing big brother: How facial recognition could help fight crime

Information is stored in a database through facial recognition, which is a computer based system that immediately identifies a person based on a digital image and/or the person's video source.
This is a tool was used in TV shows such as CSI, and now is gonna be use in reality.
Facial recognition is a key part of the agency's NGI System, a system that includes iris scans, DNA analysis, and voice identification.
Their goal is to reduce terrorist and criminal activity by improving the biometric identification and criminal history information services.
Dr. Chris Solomon in the UK created an "electronic sketch artist" system that is used in more than 30 countries.
This technology is soon to be release across the U.S. in 2014
There is many new functions this face scanning can provide, for example, in paying for goods, you face only has to be scan
The government is planing on using this scaning face system to fight crime.
