This bears the reading: https://www.theregister.com/2025/06/26/iceland_facial_recognition/

And the World as depicted in the film Minority Report comes a step closer...

So pleased I don't go into Iceland nowadays! Not impressed.

We live in a different world now

It's not surprising given the billions of pounds lost to thieving bustards

Every time I go in a certain pub in Accrington there are a couple of people who never fail to show, selling fresh meat products still in their packaging and within the sell-by date

And from usually Tesco or Asda or Farmfoods which are all in spitting distance

I do not have a problem with this.

I also think we should all carry identity cards ! 👍

There are a lot of outdoor stores in town.

Recently a few expensive all weather coats were thieved to order.

As for the film Minority Report : I remember seeing it at the local cinema and marvelling at the graphics.

Didn't understand the meaning of the film then. Nowadays I understand more.

Never lived near an Iceland food store.
