"Congress allowed the government to scan faces of foreign nationals to keep track of visa overstays. But now that's set to be extended to Americans worrying some privacy advocates."

    I've sometimes said I wish I had been born 60 years later. By then technology's barriers would be the size of the atom, the individual photon, and the speed of light, and we'd start getting into a whole new class of interesting problems. Societally, though, I now have to wonder what the other technology advances will enable by then.

    We still have the US constitution and EU privacy laws, though ... here's hoping.
