No I am not.

Recently there was a national news story of airport FRS identifying a man who has been on the run, living with new identity for 30 years. That was impressive. But that same expertise and efficacy does not seem to have made it's way to the casino industry. I have a friend that works the pits of one of the strip casinos who constantly tells me the FRS is not very good and rarely identifies anyone.

Perhaps government technology is at a higher level than what the casino industry uses? Or more probably, it has something to do with the expertise of the people using the software. Technology is only as good as the people using it! And casino surveillance is usually spread pretty thin, underpaid, and likely under trained.

However advances in technology, and the expertise of those operating it, remains a concern for me going forward.
