Human rights issues can change after the terror that took place in NYC.
Aug 29, 2001 (M2 Best Books via COMTEX) -- Borders Group Inc has temporarily suspended a trial plan to implement face recognition software in two of its stores in London, UK.

The FaceIt software, sold by Visionics Corp, fights shoplifting by comparing images of shoppers captured by a store video camera against a police database of known criminals. If no match is found, the images taken in the store are discarded.

Under the pilot plan, the system was to be installed in the chain's Charing Cross and Oxford Street stores. This has now been delayed pending a review of legal and human rights issues, reported IDG.net.
