How do they identify people if they don't have a database of everyone?

"Recently the system was not deemed ready since it could not achieve 80 to 90 percent identification accuracy at a distance of 100 meters and could not process and identify images in less than 30 seconds against a biometric database"

I read an article some years ago about U.S. companies selling facial recognition software to China so they could identify political activists and others deemed trouble to the state. At the end of the article the author speculated on how long before it was in use here in America.
