Turns out that even after you go through the regular bureaucratic hell that is the average DMV, some people will still reflexively smile for the camera*.
Via Reason Hit & Run. I’d say more, except that I took a header on some water on the floor about a half hour ago, and the left side of my body hurts like nobody’s business**. Nothing broken, but it’s going to be a fun bruise or three tomorrow.

The part about facial recognition is frightening though. I believe the use of such a technique by law enforcement is a serious violation of Constitutional rights and due process. As if the x-rated x-rays in airports weren’t enough.
