biometrics of the face, body or eye are mostly simple algorithmic transformations of photographic images. I find it hard to believe that "biometric data gathering" of Illinois residents can have massive civil liability without effecting all public photography and publishing thereof.

there's also the catch-22, that if an entity is pursuing legal collection outside of Illinois (for example of the Flickr dataset from the IBM case) it has no way of knowingly excluding Illinois residents without identifying them by using an (illegal) facial recognition dataset in the first place.
