Creepy with a Capital C

Hello?

re picture up there - EW!

I don't think surveillance technology would chiefly be used to keep track of criminals.

It would be used to figure out what to try to get us to buy at Costco.

I wonder if the bugs feel like they are being watched.....

Do you all still punch a time clock at work?

My husband works on the railroad, and they clock in ...... via eye scans. I couldn't believe it when he told me that. I was shocked. Anyway, it doesn't work on him, because he has had eye surgery, so it messes it up somehow. He is the only one on his gang that can't clock in and out.

Personally, I don't like the idea of the eye scans.

I do.

We have enough of a problem, at work, with employees clocking other employees in (who are not at work), that we went with a clock/camera. Every login is accompanied by a photo. If the name and picture do not match, someone has some explaining to do.

Oy, I swear it doesn't matter what topic you discuss there is always some moronic bad apple that just has to ruin it for everyone!? Whether you're talking time clocks or toys in the store. (Anyone else annoyed that it takes you an hour to get your kid the b-day toy you PAID FOR out of the dang packaging??) Am I the only one that just gets really riled about that?

So many crooks, so many types of fraud, ID (and other) theft... etc. that now we're getting to the point where even our Totally Unique fingerprints aren't enough ID... makes me want to smack someone... like the ones I KNOW are guilty of fraud and thus are directly responsible for this?

To Them... you know who you are... and soon... so will every store you enter. Hope it was worth it.

(that last bit wasn't for BYCers, but for any random thieves that might google their way here)

Consumer Reports has a thing every year called "The Clamshell Awards" for the most difficult and awful to open packages. One pro football player ended his career slicing open his hand/arm on one of those monsters. They get sharp!

that is very frightening indeed. I have heard that you can now op in to have a chip implanted so you can be identified if you die. scary

Kinda surprised nobody has mentioned the movie Minority Report where eye scans were a large part of the plot. I won't spoil it for anyone, but it is a really compelling movie.
