16. Foolproof......

AND much, MUCH cooler than those stupid glasses in the OP.

I see a wonderful day in the future when ALL of America walks down Main Street
wearing Groucho Glasses,
and giving the finger to every Big Brother camera.
We will be a much happier, well-adjusted brotherhood of citizens if we ever reach that point.


But not so fast....
The tech industries designing and marketing Facial Recognition technology to the government and "private" customers claim that their products can't be fooled this way.

That claim sounds like bullshit to me,
designed to fool people into fearful submission.
Nothing can identify someone with a complete hood over their faces,
so there MUST be a point where the above types of disguises can foil ANY Facial Recognition devices.

Now, when we get to the point where Big Brother can ID us by sniffing our pheromones or mapping our DNA through Stand Off technology,
we will be in trouble.
