@emptywheel serious questions, is there a national facial database? why would either or both of the brothers be on it?

@NeedellAllan No. But their pictures were in a number of databases accessible to FBI, not to mention Facebook. -
@emptywheel does FBI have access to all a facebook images even, non public? -
@NeedellAllan They can certainly get it or get FB to do a search themselves. -
@emptywheel don't know, but not so sure. unless already processed in a database real time scanning of images non trivial.

@emptywheel I wonder if someone recognized from previous questioning. -
@jezebill All the reports say they didn't. They had FBI interview, previous arrest for Tam, drivers licenses for both, face book, etc. -
@emptywheel Thank you

@emptywheel If they did, would they tell us? -
@kfall06 Not necessarily. But a lot of the narrative right now at least claims they didn't. Which is why I'm asking. -
@emptywheel if they were able to link video and social media with facial recog software they may want to withhold that info

@emptywheel ICYMI, Times reports that they didn’t haveID until initial Watertown firefight&susp #1 taken to hosp http://nyti.ms/11T2652 -
@stannenb There are many conflicting reports, and conflicting meanings of what they mean by "ID." Some say SUV owner, some suggest earlier. -
@emptywheel I know. It will be interesting to see how/if the narrative coalesces over time.

@emptywheel curious if you have any feelings on the entrapment gone wrong angle? -
@MDSirek I am utterly and completely agnostic at this point, think EITHER it's just disgruntled OR people not thinking far enuff out of box. -
@emptywheel Thx. Similarity to other 'foiled' plots does give me pause. Not jumping on a CT bandwagon, but FBI past w/bro 1 is interesting.

@emptywheel Those who know, can't talk. Those who are talking, can't know. -
@SSNewberry You're suggesting the reports that they didn't get a match before they release pics Thursday are false? -
@emptywheel I'm suggesting that this may well be the wrong question to ask.
