Germany's Interior Minister wants to introduce facial recognition software at train stations and airports to help identify terror suspects following two Islamist attacks in the country last month.
"I would like to use this kind of facial recognition technology in video cameras at airports and train stations. Then, if a suspect appears and is recognised, it will show up in the system," he told the paper.
Remember that the politicians told the people that terrorists cannot change the way of living in Germany, or cause fear. It looks like the way of living has changed quite drastically, with more controls and more privacy invasion. Not to forget that both attackers were no suspects; in fact, one of them was considered a prime example on his best way on the path of integration. No facial monitoring would have raised even a single alarm.
