That's cute.  Then there's the other side of it.  Someone who actually is
21 (or whatever) but looks younger.  That person will end up suing

Just out of curiosity, which existing systems actually do this (attempt to
age-verify on-the-fly, using "facial recognition") ?

Anyway, wouldn't it just be easier to substitute a picture of your father?
