I don't see it as a big deal. If you're not a "person of interest" as a suspected terrorist or a known stalker the star has reason to fear, there is no harm in the technology's use. No one wants another Ariana Grande concert where people are murdered or another John Lennon-style assassination.
What about the mass collection of data with peoples identity , home addresses etc. Then factor in the hackers getting your private information ? Are you comfortable with that ?Quote

I understand that in that is to keep everyone safe (even though data mine of that is also vulnerable ) but for a stupid concert ? With Live Nation/Ticketmaster ? There have been to many hacks already and then just for a stupid show to collect and store data like this ? No thanks if that is the direction that live event ticketing goes !Just check out the story that was reported last night on NBC Nightly News, and it talks all about what China is doing . The real danger is the collection of the data even though it might not be used currently but at anytime in the future . To be able to track your travel , your purchases , your every move . Are you comfortable to sacrifice that for a stupid live concert ?Quote

Suppose it's not really that surprising... assuming that this technology is already being used at train & subway & bus stations, airports, tourist destinations, historic sites, etc...

Well, with misinformed statements what do you expect? All the facial recognition software in the world would have done nothing to prevent a terrorist attack outside a venue after the show.

What do I expect? To be treated with something approaching common courtesy even if our opinions are not the same. Not to be compared to Trump as in your first response to me. Not to be told your rudeness is what I should expect because an opinion you don't agree with is "misinformed."
And yes, I understand the concerns of turning into a police state or of the implications of identity theft. Schillid posted a news story that could very well become standard practice at concerts or in shopping malls or on street corners. That has relevance on a Stones board and was a good topic for discussion. For starters, this sort of technology isn't something people vote for, it's just suddenly there.
If you shop online or use a credit card or debit card or use social media or bank anywhere, you have already been compromised or had your information sold. There are good and bad implications. All technology has the possibility of abuse. Good points were made on both sides. There is no reason for rudeness or belittling.
