Arkansas, Indiana, Nevada and Virginia will no longer allow you to smile for your driver’s license picture. It seems that smiling throws off facial recognition technology used to detect fraudulent licenses. Residents in these states will have to display “neutral facial expressions.”
So smiling heightens individuality? Being happy would foil surveillance technology that some Big Brother might use to keep track of us? There may be something telling here, though I’m not sure what it is.
