The article discusses the rise of facial recognition and biometric surveillance, the ways individuals can protect their privacy through simple anti-surveillance measures like masks and clothing, and the importance of understanding these systems to maintain personal power and privacy in an increasingly monitored world.
Colorado-based Biofire Technologies has created the first commercial smart gun with both facial and fingerprint recognition. The Biofire Smart Gun is designed with home defense in mind and is always locked by default but instantly accessible for the owner. The gun can be unlocked using either facial or fingerprint recognition, making it more reliable. The Smart Gun will be shipped to customers through the same legal transfer process required of all traditional firearms and will be available for pre-order.
