Facebook is providing an awesome service for the intelligence community - photos of people with their names attached. If you have a database with names and faces and their associations with other people, places, and things, you'll going to be able to do seemingly magical things. With a big enough database you could put input a few names, places, and objects, and return a single name. It's freakin' magic! Evildoers beware!
