The faceprint shoplifting example is, when duly considered, a frightening example straight from dystopian cyberpunk -- individuals automatically banned from jobs, stores, private facilities, public spaces -- forever, automatically, under an opaque corporate controlled consumer identification / credit system.

Your employer and industry are so far on the wrong side of the ethical divide that there's simply no way to reconcile ethical standards and what you see as justified non-opt-in faceprint collection.
