And exactly what good does that do? The government already has your face tied to your ID and knows you’re flying

Well good. They can stop pestering me for real id, preventing me from moving directly to the security line without having to show id, and stop trying to force me into giving up my face model everytime.

- 2D ID photo vs 3D scan

- ID photo is x years out of date

- old identifying info + new identifying info is more valuable than just old identifying info

- if it really doesn't matter, then why do they need to collect it? they can just not collect it, since it doesn't matter.

  • Neither does a 3D scan like an iPhone. As far as facial recognition better because it has up to date pictures. This has been solved without up to date pictures for years. My phone can - on device recognize my son from the time he was 9 to today at 25. If my phone can do it on device, do you think this is a hard problem on a server farm?

    • I'm quite perplexed on what point you are trying to make by dying on this hill.

      That this does solve some hidden problem? ("if it really doesn't matter, then why do they need to collect it?")

      That folks should be conditioned to freely provide any data, scan, or biometrics upon request?

      When the government says "jump", always ask "how high"?

Does facial recognition work better with one photo or many?

  • Does it matter? If you carry your phone with you they can already track you as well as tag readers when you are driving.

    • Why should the default be "more tracking" and not "as little as justifiably necessary"?

      It doesn't even save time, in fact it takes more time screwing around with the camera

      What problem is any of this solving?

  • Training requires a lot of photos and face models need to be more recent to be effective.

    • And yet my iPhone can recognize my son from the time he was 9 to the time he is 25 with just one shot labeling…
