Canadians are banned from smiling
 

looks like we are going crazy here too!...

At least, they will be able to recycle the photos to the most wanted list.

It's all because of America, or so I'm sure you'll figure out some kind of link before it's all over with.

paranoia: .... Most individuals who suffer from some form of paranoia tend to be suspicious of the motives of others, leading them to be hypersensitive, tense, and argumentative. Jealousy and vengeful emotions are also common, and can lead to violent confrontation in the most severe cases. In most paranoid delusions, the individual believes that there is a pattern to random events which is somehow connected to him. Individuals with paranoid schizophrenia often suffer from delusions in conjunction with more severe symptoms, such as hallucinations.

I was just reading about this in the newspaper today.

Its an ICAO ruling (international civil aviation organization) some UN agency. Its so facial scanning technology works better.

They say you can capture all facial characteristics better with a neutral face.

Crazy stuff though.
