Face recognition cameras/software used by nightspots to root out the nawty?

I was wandering up West Street last night, and saw Wahoo were doing all drinks for two quid, and the Arse were just about to begin the 'demolition' of Besiktas on Sky, so I popped in for a pint. An old mate turned up about five minutes after KO, and said he'd been accosted at the door by security, and had his picture taken, while holding up a one of his plastic cards in shot, to attach his name to his face

It seems this is to deter serial aggro merchants, who will be instantly recognised at the door of any national nightspot via internet link, and refused entry...

Good idea, abuse of civil liberties, or an opportunity for knuckledraggers to put on disguises when going out due to the blacklist
