Face Recognition On Mobile Phones

Particularly interesting is how the phones will scan all faces in the field of view, and indicate matches by an instant short message."
Someone in the database walks down a crowded street, and the police are bombarded with text messages...
Calling a restaurant:
- Would you have a table at 19:00 ?
- Yes, but you'd better change into something with a tie, mister!

I'm just waiting for the ads showing the PCS guy with one of these phones.
PCSG:John, tell me what happened.
John:Well, me and some buddies were out having a guys' night out. We had some drinks. Everything was going pretty good. Then this girl came up to us. She was really HOT!
PCSG:John, did you go home with her?
John:(Sheepishly) Yeah.
PCSG:What happened next?
John:I woke up in a bathtub full of ice, with a note that said I should call 911, and found out I was missing a kidney!
PCSG:John, what you really need is this new PCS phone with face recognition technology. You could have identified her and let one of your buddies "jump on the grenade"
Overrated / Underrated : Moderation
Just shoot any person who points his cell phone at you...
Dont worry. After a few isolated cases of murders eluding cell phone distributed policing technology (CPDPT) through facial hair and/or masks, congress (along with the phone companies, cell phone makers, police, and the RIAA and MPAA) will pass laws restricting the growth of facial hair and or sunglasses.
