Facial-recognition has a mapping aspect and it can't wrap around open-vs.-closed mouth head topographies. IMHO, the technology is not mature enough to be deployed by government-citizen applications, such as Virginia's driver's license program. If it helps anyone, you should be able to smile a little-bit (closed-mouth, though). Government seems especially vulnerable to immature technologies, in my experience.

Somehow I just knew you would come to the defense of the no-smiling police. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
