London Underground Begins Scanning Passengers' Faces

The British Transport Police have expanded their Live Facial Recognition (LFR) trial to London Underground stations. The technology, which scans passengers' faces in real time, is being tested to identify individuals wanted for serious crimes. The trial has raised privacy concerns among civil liberties groups, who argue that such surveillance infringes on public anonymity. The police, however, maintain that the system is a targeted tool to enhance public safety and deter crime.
