I personally do not see the problem with face recognition. I mean, if you are not in any trouble to begin with, why be worried? Yes there may be the chance that someone will have a similar face, but the chance of someone have the same name, being in the same age group, and comming from the same or similar background is an insignifigant possibillity. If Borders did implement this system then all power to them. True not many peoples first choice of a place to shoplift is a bookstore, but like all corperations with good to sell there is the problem of theft and that is a problem which cannot be overlooked.
This system is just another means of protection, just like a camera or a security guard. No one complains when there is a security guard standing by the door. Just because they might recognize your face when the alarm goes off doesn't change the fact that you probably got something in your bag that is unpaid for.
