Computerized facial recognition is very much a work in progress.  When I
last renewed my VA drivers license, I saw their initial implementation
of facial recognition.  Hold head in approved position and no toothy
smile.  Photo also can't be color.  Very preliminary stage.

Thank you,

  Hasn't law enforcement tried this already, for instance in Virginia
Beach, Virginia?  The claim was that authorities would be able to
recognize any number of criminals they were looking for from scanning
surveillance cameras spread about in the city, and hopefully catch a
bunch of crooks.  If I correctly recall the outcome, they were never
able to identify a single wanted suspect throughout the entire
experimental operation and gave up on it.  I think this was also tried
at some professional football games in Tampa with similar negative
results.
