'Averaging' faces could improve ID card security

There always seems to be a trade-off between security and privacy. If you beef up security everyone complains that it's an invasion of their privacy, but if you give them more privacy everyone wants more security. I wrote a paper for my technology class about that.

lol, there seems to be an interesting relationship between privacy/freedom and security.

Benjamin Franklin said those who give freedom for protection deserve neither.

While I usually agree with Benjamin Franklin, I think that could be dangerous if taken to the extreme. For example, we inherently have the freedom to kill anyone whenever we feel like it, but since we live in a society we've made murder a crime to protect ourselves from being killed. So I don't think that giving up some freedom is a bad thing, as long as it's not carried to the other extreme either. There's a balance there - somewhere.

that's only because there hasn't been much commercial interest in that sort of thing... yet.

lmao, do you mean recognition or analyzing? =p
