Massachusetts resident John H. Gass has sued the state for revoking his driver's license without warning. Gass hadn't even had a ticket in years, but the state had used an anti-terrorism facial recognition program to screen its database of driver's license photos. The computer program flagged Gass because his photo looks like that of someone else. It took him 10 days and multiple trips to government offices to straighten out the mess. At least 34 states use such systems.
