When I saw them using Iris scanners in Iraq 20+ years ago, I just knew they were going to start scanning people in the US with them

Keep in mind they are using them BEFORE a person is under arrest and even just protestors

If they can do that, someday there is going to be exponential resolution advancement where a Flock camera can do it from a distance

Imagine being able to walk up to a crowd and just iris scan everyone from a distance, that day is coming, it's just a technical limit for now (instead today they collect BLE and wifi mac addresses on your phones)
