The technology allowed the DMV to quickly highlight 28 different photos of one man who was apparently using many identities. It also identified one person who, as part of a sex change, came in with plucked eyebrows, long flowing hair and a new name — but the same radiant smile.

This is just way too scary.  Of course we are supposed to trust that they will only use this technology on "bad" people.  Umm, right!  Sounds great until the don't like me.  It is not against the law to have a "sex change" or to change one's appearance.  What is next?  Do we need some kind of affidavit from a plastic surgeon?
