Tawashi: I think this is a terrible idea, now we're going to have to rely more on robots to handle mug shot ids.

Astro: Hey, you can call on me anytime you like.

That's awesome! I remember watching a documentary on Fort Knox a while back, and they were talking about this technology for security purposes. I don't know if it was just a guess or if it's what they use, but it's really cool. But what happens if someone scans someone else's face and 3D prints it as a mask? I feel like most security cameras wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
