The famous scene from Minority Report depicting a consumer walking into a Gap store and being instantly recognized, prompting the system to suggest new purchases based on that customer's purchase history, may have once seemed like an interesting movie fantasy, but it has now become reality. NEC has unveiled a new system in Japan that will allow stores to identify new and returning customers using facial recognition.

Yeah. I heard Britain's Home Secretary was utilizing that technology to make sure that Michael Savage does not shop at Gap in Liverpool.

Just do like "Anonymous" and put on a mask with eye holes.
