There is nothing in the article that suggests Walmart expressed any questions about privacy.
True, though at the same time there is nothing in the title that suggests Walmart expressed any questions about privacy:
Walmart’s Use of Sci-fi Tech To Spot Shoplifters Raises Privacy Questions
Which would be similar to
NSA's Capturing of Phone Metadata to Catch Terrorists Raises Privacy Questions
where we would not expect anything except an editorial about what this means from someone NOT in the NSA.
I was expecting to read the usual privacy law mishmash and I wasn't disappointed.
However, I could have cared less about the privacy implications and so made my title:
Wal-Mart Pulls Plug On Facial Recognition Loss Prevention System
because a huge corporation admitting that Face Rec wasn't worth the cost IS noteworthy. But only to us, not to the general Fortune reader.
Lastly, I included the tenuously related video in response to John's inquiry about what system was used. Although I doubt that Bosch IVA was handling Face Rec, they do appear to be Bosch Flexidome cameras mounted at a face rec height, and so possibly were part of the pilot, or a new initiative perhaps. But mostly I posted the video for humor.
