Virginia Beach Goes For Facial Recognition

Posted by timothy on Tuesday September 10, 2002 @06:33AM from the viriginia-is-for-voyeurs dept.

Raven42rac writes " It appears that my hometown, Virginia Beach, after summarily rejecting those ridiculous facial recognition cameras, has recently become the second city in the nation to use them. (Yay we're number 2, pun intended.) Citing the ubiquitous 'everything is different now after 9-11' defense that has become ever popular in yanking away our rights and liberties. The whole shebang is explained in this article from my local newspaper's website, and unlike some online newspapers, this one is completely free, and no registration is required."

With due respect, FUD aside, can you point us to a single example of a right which
you feel you've lost since September 11, 2001?

In the absence of any actual rights lost, this talk of `giving up liberty for security'
is just FUD, after all...
