They are coming for your face and other physical characteristics. Biometric surveillance grows rampant in almost every sector of our public lives, from security to retail stores, from work places to our private domiciles.

Our faces are being stored, analysed, resold and reused for the purposes of surveillance, data mining, crime prevention, marketing and other usages. They’re being used as currency and as a mean of control.
