Seventeen years ago, the world witnessed one of the most tragic events in history: the "September 11, 2001 attacks," leaving approximately 3,000 dead and more than 6,000 injured. Numerous other attacks had already occurred and continue to happen in various cities around the world. Because these are surprise events, scattered across territories but typically occurring in crowded public spaces, a wide range of actions has been taken to prevent them, challenging major powers and organizations focused on security strategies.
In China, for example, there are already more than 200 million facial recognition cameras spread across the country. This network, combined with heavy investments in advanced surveillance technology, monitors every citizen's daily movements, forming a massive government-controlled database. The technology is so effective that it can even identify individuals who are not registered in the system, tracing a pedestrian's age, height, and weight from simple images captured in seconds.
