I mean, you’re in a public place, I don’t know any airport in the world that isn’t full of cameras recording you the whole time

As far as I know, face-recognition tech is illegal in law-abiding countries.

Although it's probably mostly a legal impediment, I can imagine if the authorities spotted an event and need to track a suspect, they can put all the footage into a system and it will return a sequence of videos/angles in which the suspect was seen.

I live in Australia and it’s legal here. Even if it wasn’t, wouldn’t stop much.
