DHS Will Film Hockey Fans for Facial Recognition Test (http://silverunderground.com/2013/09/dhs-will-film-hockey-fans-for-facial-recognition-test/)


Now, the implementation of these dystopian-sounding spy tools has accelerated. The Tri-City Herald (http://www.tri-cityherald.com/2013/09/12/2570354/tri-city-hockey-crowds-to-be-taped.html) is reporting that the Department of Homeland Security is set to test facial recognition cameras on the crowd at the upcoming September 21st season-opening game of the Tri-City Americans, a Western Hockey League team from southern Washington that plays home games at the Toyota Center. What was once considered by many to be an out-there conspiracy theory has now become an officially-acknowledged policy.

Shit I just read the linked article.

Tri-City hockey crowds to be taped for U.S. security research (http://www.tri-cityherald.com/2013/09/12/2570354/tri-city-hockey-crowds-to-be-taped.html)


Richland — Hockey fans at the season opener of the Tri-City Americans will have a chance to help the U.S. Department of Homeland Security improve its facial recognition capabilities.


Eventually, state-of-the-art facial recognition technologies could be used to identify terrorists and criminals in public areas, according to the national lab in Richland. The Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate works to make technology available to agencies ranging from local police offices to the U.S. Border Patrol, Transportation Security Administration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.


Hockey fans who don’t want to be on the video will be given options to avoid the cameras.
No video will be shot in the arena and signs will be set up in the corridors around the arena to direct people to areas without cameras. PNNL staff will be available to answer questions.





“If they didn’t want to be videotaped, they could very easily not be videotaped,” said Nick Lombardo, a PNNL project manager.
Multiple cameras, bought off shelves in the Tri-Cities, will be set up in the main entrance, the hallway between sections S and W and at the concession stand at section W.


I call bullshit on the whole thing. This is a psyop.

Someone should go there in a ski mask. Force them to arrest you and drag you out for exercising your right to privacy.

They should record them and when asked state.

Well since youve done nothing wrong you dont have anything to hide.

Do you?
