Question is : Does this immigration facial recognition technology detect people on long term overstays or just those in the system ?

Would the facial recognition detect someone whose photo wasn't in the system ?

Probably not, but not being in the system might be a flag too.

I wonder if they have taken Osama Bin Ladin out of it yet?

These things work great, been using them for years.

There is also an Iranian version, with one continuous eyebrow.

Similar technology to be used in the UK

Wow, what a brave feat from the immigraiton police. To catch an overstayer. Wow. Impressed.

What about all the other criminal call center scammers or the chain snatchers or drug peddlars that are destroying the image of Pattaya ? Of course, if they are Thai, then obviously it's ok.

Surely this is a system that can pick up on the local lags too!

Got it. Well based on my recent travels, they sure like us in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Japan, Azerbaijan, Thailand, Cambodia, Georgia and Nepal.

Not in Frankfurt, unless you are dealing with an AfD supporter.

I would say he might encounter some negativity here and there too.

No, and the Asians know the difference. Glad to see I inspired you to waste part of your life looking for passport pictures.
