If you really worked in this space you would know that AI models don't scan 200M people because... why would they? Seems kind of weird.

The database of potential US citizens that could be matched to a face scan is where the 200M comes from.

So the model is verifying faces against ... A database of zero faces? Surely there's 200M faces in there, or else how does it work?

No. The model is, "Hey! this guy is being a pain in the ass. He even claimed that The President wasn't blessed with superintelligence and doesn't actually smell really good!

We need to get this terrorist off the streets! He sure looks a whole lot like that illegal on the FBI most wanted list, doesn't he? Off to CECOT with him!

What's that? He's a twelfth generation citizen? No way! Look, the app I used to claim this guy matches an illegal who's also a child rapist!

Your papers are all fake (if, as a citizen he's even carrying them). Onto the plane with you Senor.

That's the model. Feel free to disagree, but come back and reread this comment in 18 months. I hope you read it then and think "what a paranoid guy! Nothing like that could ever happen here!" But I'm not holding my breath. :(

In 18 months the discussion will have moved on to make excuses for the conentration camps. Alligator Auschwitz and such camps must be much larger to hold everyone.

Buddy I'm well aware of the American gestapo and their present actions

I'm just pointing out the absurdity of claiming there's no faces in the facial recognition database
