Go to this site and then zoom in on any face from any distance. Just a face in a crowd doesn't have much of a meaning anymore.

Just looking at that picture makes me a little queasy. My "crowd aversion index" has been increasing exponentially over the last few years. It's hard to imagine a more dangerous place to be than in the middle of that mass.
Pushing the emotion aside for a moment, the technology that allows that level of zooming is amazing. It's also disturbing. An agency's ability to record the smallest detail of what you're doing from so far away that you don't even know they are there is something that we have to accept as reality. And I don't like it.

and watching you very, very closely......

I saw that a couple months ago on another forum. We think we found a fight starting near one of the light poles near the front of the pic. There is a guy climbing the pole and a couple guys in each others faces while a small crowd is watching them not the game.

There was a similar one of Obama's inauguration where you could pick out the cops and snipers.

In the 70s it was said that the satellites used for surveillance could resolve a pack of cigarettes in a parking lot .
And that is picking up a that pack from 23,000 miles up.

Now they can probably tell if your watch is fast.

That link said I could go on facebook and tag all my friends in that pic.
Could I just call each one of those people "Barack Obama" and will that throw off the facial recognition technology?
:P

You probably did. ;)
Caption above the photo:
BEFORE THE RIOT version 1 - The Vancouver Canucks Fan Zone along Georgia St. for Game 7 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final was captured at 5:46 pm on June 15, 2011. It is made up of 216 photos (12 across by 18 down) stitched together, taken over a 15-minute span, and is not supposed to represent a single moment in time. The final hi-res file is 69,394 X 30,420 pixels or 2,110 megapixels. Special thanks to Bonita Howard and CBC Real Estate.
Then there's this tid-bit:
