There are little to no downsides to storing that information.
It will have value to someone, most likely intelligence, law enforcement and private security agencies.
I'd say it's safe to assume it's been stored.
Many times you have to have your photo ID scanned before entering security and you have cameras pointed at you from multiple angles while queued. The task of matching scans with their owners becomes much more trivial.
- ams6110 11y agoDon't understand the downvotes. Poster is saying that there's little to no downside for those who would benefit from storing it. Not that there's no downside for the individuals being scanned.
- fucking_tragedy 11y agoI've noticed a trend where if you don't make a value judgment after such a comment, it is interpreted as support. I am pointing out the ease at which the government has operated and will operate when given the opportunity to collect such data. The government will see no repercussions for storing data the Stasi and KGB couldn't even dream of collecting and analyzing. I am well aware of the abuses and rights violations that storing that information can enable. The OP was made to illustrate how easily we will find ourselves heading down that path.
