#4Face hacking doesn't necessarily have to be hi-tech. Maybe more and more people in future will dress like activists.
Mouth mask may become an important fashion piece, which is already happening in East Asian societies.

I've read that wearing masks in public is illegal in the US.
The laws that made public mask wearing illegal were from an age when the KKK used masks to hide themselves when committing violent crimes and for intimidation purposes.

#8>And while FR may be error-prone now, this is unlikely to stay the case for long.
Well less error prone. There are only so many different possible faces. Even people will routinely misidentify faces in a crowd. They need to use hair, clothing and context to avoid constantly saying hello to strangers.
There will always be a reasonably high level of false positives...

It's not just illegal, I believe it's a felony in my state.

#10The self checkout lines in walmart and target have a HD camera right in your face. I have always found these disturbing, they aren't even looking at what I'm buying. Do you guys think they are using facial recognition on these streams?
