Phoenix School to Install Face Scanners
I'm Spartacus! writes "CNN reports that a Phoenix middle school is intstalling face recognition scanners to help locate missing children and identify sex offenders. Civil Libertarians are justifiably concerned."
If any missing children show up at the school, we're covered.
Two cameras, which are expected to be operational next week, will scan faces of people who enter the office at Royal Palm Middle School. They are linked to state and national databases of sex offenders, missing children and alleged abductors.
If these "missing children" are "entering the office" - how missing are they really?
Do you need a camera to tell you that the kid has been found?
Let this be a clarion call to all those Phoenix middle school students out there: Print out a photo of Jeffrey Dahmer and tape it to your backpack. Fun for the whole class!

No, not at all. You just have to become a pop star first.

I accuse Cowboy Neal of being a witch! He has spoiled my corn and given me urges to click on silly poll options!
BURN THE SEX OFFENDER...I mean WITCH! BURN THE WITCH!
You can't take the sky from me...
The cameras aren't the important part of the system. That's just what they're telling you. In fact, the cameras are really just empty camera housings like they have on buses and such.
The important part is the office secretary who's paid to notice people who squinch up their face to fool the cameras.
