    clubhouse that is a far different situation - the use of video surveillance in that context is a totally different animal: it's consensual and specific and,far less likely to result in a false positive.

    nuff. I respectfully agree to disagree :)

    Most stores here don't warn that you are being recorded by video equipment, its a given in the 21st century...Some are concerned about covert surveillance by the security agencies, others are not, I haven't nothing to fear IF they are watching ME in particular, however they would find my daily life unremarkable and I do nothing that effects the safety, welfare and security of others anywhere, here or worldwide.

    See, for example: "Why ‘I Have Nothing to Hide’ Is the Wrong Way to Think About Surveillance"

    Double nuff said . I really mean it this time -- "That's All Folks." :)

    It's one of those things that you never want to become an issue. I can't imagine how it would, for me in meatspace. I'm just too boring. Just another nobody.

    What if you live in Canada? Could your face still be in this database?
