Is big brother watching too closely? Privacy groups fear it might be, with improvements and use of facial recognition technology on the rise. As part of a long overdue update to the national fingerprint database, the FBI has started to roll out a 1 billion dollar facial recognition program. That’s billion with a b. According to New Science, facial recognition has reached a point where it can match a single face out a pool of 1.6 million photos with 92% accuracy. The new database will also include iris scans, DNA analysis and voice identification, all of with the goal of catching criminals faster and more efficiently.

They’re concerned that a person with no criminal past could end up in the database and be subjected to unwarranted surveillance.
