While there are a lot of crazy ways to identify someone, most of those only work in ideal or repeated situations.
For example Iphones faceid requires special cameras and for you to scan your face with the cameras before it can work.
Its obvious from the videos and photos of the incident that there isn't quality footage of the events, meaning the quality of any tracking software is greatly degraded (otherwise we could solve all crimes). Since all tracking/identification software works on probabilities, that's not a strong case to make that you've ID the right person.
Maybe the iPhone thing is a bad example, but I do think there are probably spy satellites up there that could count the hairs on your head if they wanted to. I’m not saying these agencies are efficient, or even marginally effective in the most general sense of the word, but I believe they could accomplish mind-bending feats when focused on a singular enemy of the ruling class.
And anyway, you’re making these assessments of the technology in the context of what’s available to the consumer. The crux of my argument is that we’re always at least one, maybe several, decades behind the military industrial complex.
