It was a major can of worms when we started image recognition years ago. I think privacy will naturally continue to decrease if there's no regulation. More information is ammo for both good and bad applications. At first something like this could be used for affirmative action: airport security, seeking potential employees; anything where your appearance might be important. I think The West has more or less learned to ridicule the idea that "some people that naturally look a certain way should be treated a certain way". But yeah, if you're sweaty and shady at a presidential convention, it would be nice to have this kind of technology in place.
