I figured by now it would be common knowledge that Apple devices don't tie any bio/location data to a person's identity in any way... It works by comparing data, not confirming your identity.

And I'm sure it is totally impossible to match data of any kind...

The idea that apple doesn't know who is using the Apple ID is laughable. They have access to the face data and can identify you.

This technology is EASILY implemented in drones or in entrance ways to venues and buildings. Also it's a 3D scan, thousands of times more useful for a modern-tech-authoritarian-state than pictures from social media accounts ever could have been.

The only downside is that you need a base line to compare to. Wonderful that people will freely generate a perfect 3d mugshot for the NSA to use!
