Robocop Is Here – New Police Helmet Scans For COVID-19 and Uses Facial Recognition

 Well, not exactly, but the increase of the dictatorship fueled by advancements in technology have born to a heads up display equipped helmet bound to please the foremost anxious of peace officers.

It's called a "Smart Helmet" and it can screen airport passengers for the COVID-19 virus also as provide the scanning officer with other vital records.

Public officials in Flint, Michigan cannot provide clean beverage to their residents but travelers to Bishop International Airport can get a glimpse of the new robotic cop helmets where they're currently deployed.

Under the guise of screening passengers for COVID-19, the Smart Helmet, produced by KeyBiz based in Italy, can scan travelers' body temperatures from over 20 feet away.

The Smart Helmet isn't limited to temperature body scans which any laser guided thermometer can do, not within the slightest.

Facial recognition software is installed which may provide the policeman with information associated with outstanding warrants, if a private is identified on a terror watch list or a no-fly list, and may read license plates for outstanding warrants, stolen vehicle information, criminal histories, etc.

Even if you're completely innocent, you'll be subject to those scans.

Temperature scans are often done at a distance of 21 feet or less.

The helmets have already been deployed in Italy et al. round the world.

Michigan's ABC12 reports if someone's temperature is in more than 100.4 degrees, more investigation into the traveler's health are going to be conducted to work out if the passenger is just too sick to travel.

Anyone who isn't a passenger who registers a temperature above 100.4 degrees are going to be asked to go away the terminal building after police conduct some limited coronavirus contact tracing to seek out out what areas of the building may are exposed.

We at TFTP have warned our readers for quite a while the COVID-19 pandemic would be used as an onus for a greater invasion of privacy.

Some of us here at TFTP are sufficiently old to recollect when boarding a plane was an easy as buying a ticket and getting aboard.

Fast forward nearly 20 years and there are quite few things which happen the minute your ticket is purchased.

First, your name, age, and birth date are checked to ascertain if you have been added to a terror watch list, a no-fly list or otherwise.

When you're cleared to travel, you want to soon possess a "Real ID". Without it you will not be allowed to fly.

Upon arrival to the airport, your identification is scanned and further checked in databases for any flags which can arise.

All of your pockets must be emptied, your shoes began , your belts, hats, and metal jewelry removed.

You're placed into a sniffing device to ascertain to see if you're carrying the scent of bomb making materials.

Later, a complete stranger may pat you down and grope your genitalia as you await the all clear sign to tend at which era you'll retrieve your belongings.

That's as long as the x-ray technician doesn't think your hand sanitizer has too many ounces in its container.

Now, it seems Mr. Robocop will take your temperature against your will, search through your criminal history and examine your countenance .

All of those things will likely be cataloged in another alphabet agency's database.

The entire invasion of privacy will fall into the auspices of fears surrounding a reasonably mild pandemic using slogans like "It's for your health and safety." And you thought it had been about keeping America safe from terrorism.

Think again, this makes me long for the great ole days when the sole danger in flying was smelling like cigarette smoke from all the puffers aboard.
