It is extremely likely that the federal government has access to your biometric data. Information such as your driver’s license or passport photograph could potentially be used without your permission during surveillance or in the investigation of a crime. Due to the inaccuracies that still exist in this technology, it is possible that you could be falsely accused of a crime based on the results of a facial recognition scan.
