If you’re riding the Washington DC Metro today and a person in a white jumpsuit scans your face with a cell phone strapped to their head—you should probably be alarmed.

Digital rights activists are using Amazon’s commercially available facial scanning technology, Rekognition, to scan the faces of thousands of DC residents outside the halls of Congress and inside the city’s busiest metro stations to showcase the harmful consequences of facial recognition surveillance. Throughout the day, the digital rights group, Fight for the Future, will cross-check scanned faces with a database of journalists, lobbyists, and members of congress.
