HA! Because pimply faced teens wearing glasses when whimsical, is the NSA's best chance of collecting blanket face-data? In America at that, while the big majority of persons of interest are tucked half a world away.

Genius!!!

Their Spectacles announcement was odd though. You don't think an index of millions of people's face data is valuable?
