The FBI Just Finished Its Insane New Facial Recognition System (gizmodo.com)

I'm curious if such a system will be limited only to USA people or will they use data collected outside of US?

Will citizens have access to their data?

It's very similar to what Stasi did in GDR (or SB in PRL, or check any other East Block countries from Cold War).

Accurate and fast facial recognition (combined with cheap public cameras and abundant cheap storage) is one of the few technologies that makes me truly dread possibility. I don't want to live in a world where all travel outside of my house can be reconstructed and scrutinized at a later date, even if the only party with that ability is the government.
