After a slew of gun-related incidents in the past few years, the Mall of America is stepping up their security measures by adding facial recognition technology to their arsenal.

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — The Mall of America now has a new way to keep shoppers safe.A new high-tech layer of security has been added after gun-related incidents in recent years.Signs let you know you're coming face to face with new facial recognition technology.'Very mixed feelings about this because it could be useful and not so useful sometimes,' said Melva Bargiela, a long-time Minnesota resident who is now living in Spain.

Those persons of interest are then put into a database. Cameras around the mall will scan your face to see if it comes back as a match. If it doesn't your photo is gone.'As a person of color, it does make me a little nervous just because mistakes can be made but it's also like mistakes can get a little dangerous, especially for people who are targeted a little more,' said Brandon Charles of Minneapolis.
