So has that ever been debunked? I'm curious how such a system would work but it sounds like fearmongering.

The technology exists. It isn't that difficult to implement facial tracking on security cameras and maintain a file on shoplifters. Even across multiple stores.

I can't answer your question, but it is certainly plausible.

Hmm that is scary. I guess face recognition isn't the only factor either. The way you walk is also quite unique apparently. Like the angle of your feet, how high they go, step size etc

Hmm. Not that I'd risk shoplifting or anything but it's interesting what companies do against it.
