Japanese electronic firm Omron has applied a proprietary image analysis technology to the recording and gender/age differentiation of passengers going through ticket gates. The technology is to be applied both for passengers service management and to visually tag tresspassers who push through the gates without tickets, meaning that a database of passengers faces will be maintained, shared, lost an messed with. Instant detection of tresspassers will ring a bell and keep guardmen busy. The next step is to have that PASSMO card inserted under the skin with gift points as an incentive to go through surgery.
The illustration suggests that honest passengers data will be gathered for the sake of data mining whereas tresspassers will be filed individually.
