While your selfie may capture your exciting weekend activities, pout included, it also may lead to your arrest one day.

It’s been revealed that the National Security Agency (NSA) is harvesting millions of facial photographs in an attempt to track suspected terrorists or intelligence targets through facial recognition. Cue paranoia.

The information comes from documents obtained from Edward Snowden by the New York Times.

It’s not just the traditional communications we’re after: It’s taking a full-arsenal approach that digitally exploits the clues a target leaves behind in their regular activities on the net to compile biographic and biometric information.

While they may not be interested in your drunken profile pics now, cross to the wrong side of the law and the NSA should have everything they need to hunt you down – Jason Bourne style.
