    The whole point of modern surveillance is to treat people differently, and facial recognition technologies are only a small part of that.

Almost exactly what I was trying to convey here.

    Even if we did ban it, some other technology would develop to sate the desire to take people's privacy away from them...the technology isn't the problem - it's the people demanding its existence, and their ever-increasing ingenuity when it comes to thwarting our rights.

I guess there's a reason our boy Bruce is published in the NYT and mudsy isn't, though :)
