A creepy footnote to the shooting in Maryland yesterday. Apparently, the identity of the shooter \u2013 who had no ID on him, refused to give his name and had \u201cobscured\u201d his fingerprints \u2013 was determined via the use of facial recognition software.<\/p>\n

An\u00a0NBC news story<\/a>\u00a0about the incident mentions this fairly casually and without comment:<\/p>\n

\u201cSenior law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation told NBC News that Ramos had been\u00a0identified through the use of facial recognition software<\/em>. The sources said earlier that he had somehow obscured his fingerprints, making identification difficult.

We are probably not only being watched but individually recorded \u2013 our comings and goings \u2013 whenever we\u2019re out and about.

In which case, why object to random spot checks of our homes by government goons?\u00a0If you\u2019ve got nothing to hide . . .\u00a0 .<\/em><\/p>\n
