Visionics' FaceIt lies

Griffin also marketed a controversial face recognition system that used computer
software to compare gamblers' faces against several volumes of mug shots. According to
a Las Vegas Sun article, Beverly Griffin, co-owner of Griffin Investigations, "estimates as
many as half of Southern Nevada's casinos now use biometric technology to identify the
faces of card cheats or other undesirables"[1]. However, a Las Vegas casino surveillance
director (writing under the pseudonym Cellini) reported in the 2004 book The Card
Counter's Guide to Casino Surveillance that biometric technology was considered
virtually useless by actual casino surveillance operatives because of overwhelming
numbers of false reads.
Critics of the technology complain that the London Borough of Newham scheme has, as
of 2004, never recognised a single criminal, despite several criminals in the system's
database living in the Borough and the system having been running for several years.
"Not once, as far as the police know, has Newham's automatic facial recognition system
spotted a live target."[5][6] This information seems to conflict with that given by Identix's
press release of April 2001, where they claim the system was credited with a 34%
reduction in crime - which better explains why the system was then rolled out to
Birmingham also.
An experiment by the local police department in Tampa, Florida, had similarly
disappointing results.[citation needed]
"Camera technology designed to spot potential terrorists by their facial characteristics at
airports failed its first major test at Boston's Logan Airport"[7]
