Friend or Foe?

The strategy in Afganistan has changed from winning hearts to looking for bad guys.  The Army is looking at using drones for two functions:
1. Facial Recognition
2. Using human behvior data to predict someone's intent

Facial Recognition has been around for a while but using a drone for this function on a moving target in a crowd is pretty difficult.  This system claims it can also use non-facial information, such as skin color, height and age to be able to spot them from overhead and keep of track of them while they move through a crowd.

How do you feel knowing that drones could one day determine who you are, where are are and what you are going to do?  Scary thought but this is reality of the future whether we like it or not!!
