Facial recognition get a makeover by Faception:
An Israeli startup claims to have developed new facial imaging technology which can identify anyone, be it poker players, geniuses, extroverts, terrorists or paedophiles, just by looking at a subject's face. The technology firm claims its facial imaging technology can distinguish an individual's unique character traits, which are unnoticeable to the naked human eye.
Tel Aviv-based Faception has reportedly already signed a contract with US Homeland Security which will involve using the firm's facial recognition software to help identify terrorists. Faception also claims that its software identified nine of the 11 Paris attackers as suspected terrorists, without any previous data or knowledge about their involvement in the event, the Daily Mail reported.

Not only are they unnoticeable to the "naked human eye [sic]", they are unnoticeable under a microscope by a team of behavioral scientists as well.
What a crock!
