And you thought I was mad when I warned about this tech if we ever got in car cameras

Have you flown from Dublin or Shannon to the US recently?

You may have noticed a new step to US Preclearance - one which involves facial recognition technology, verifying the identity of passengers by matching a fresh photo to the ones in their passport, visa and other documents on file.

The facial recognition verification process takes less than two seconds, with a 99pc matching rate, according to US Customs and Border Protection.

The new systems, rolled out in Ireland this year, have seen Dublin and Shannon become the first airports in Europe using facial biometrics in this way.

The programme exists in over a dozenUS airports, and has also been extended to Abu Dhabi and Aruba Airport in the Caribbean. It has been operational in Dublin since June, while a pilot programme at Shannon has been running since April.

"The fact that mobile device users now have the option to use biometrics to unlock their phones also helped shape our decision," US CBP has said.

Shannon was out of commission or a while recently.

My fear with this tech was if we had mandatory cameras in car we wouldnt know what tech they would run on them .Can you imagine if you had a wanted person on board and got stopped by armed garda and got caught up in a bad situation .You only have to see how they caught Fat Freddy with CCTV to realize how much the state would like this tech to be rolled out to every street in the country .The social services card your passport or your driving licence now have biometric photoes .your facial map is encrypted into the chip .

Go away ya fucking spoofer, walkie talkies have not changed in forever, except maybe for the batteries and being digital signals and not analogue. They certainly don’t have screens on them
