88: Perchlorate and Cut Fiber
Facial Recognition, Forensic Science Myths, Public Conditioning
The hosts critique the portrayal of forensic technology on television shows like CSI, noting that real-world facial recognition and DNA testing are far less efficient than depicted. They argue that these "eye-roller" tropes, such as instant DNA results and magical photo enhancement, are designed to condition the public into believing the state's surveillance capabilities are infallible.
