Tamara Wilhite is a science fiction and horror author, engineer, and mother of 2 (humans).

WTF?

Facial recognition systems are kind of like antimissile defense systems in this way: it costs much less for an individual to defeat the system than the system costs.

I doubt they will be anything like foolproof - at least for non-cooperative subjects - for quite a few years.

If they don't work for non-cooperative subjects, they're useless for law enforcement. In fact worse than useless, because the bad guys will fool them, and good guys who happen to resemble the bad guys will get harassed, arrested, shot, etc.

I’m able to confuse the facial recognition system on my phone just by putting on a pair of glasses, or by displaying the horror of my face, first thing in the morning. I’m not sure how sophisticated is the current state of the art outside of laboratories.

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, the government mandates that everyone must wear a mask or face arrest as potential carrier of deadly germs.

On Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, the government mandates that no one may wear a mask because our facial recognition software has to keep track of you. People wearing masks will face arrest as potential criminals.

On Saturdays, the government mandates that everyone wear a full burkha because Allah is great.

These days are subject to change at the whim of your public servants.

Wear a mask as requested by the feds.

Add thick glasses.

The government will use social pressure to get men to stop wearing beards:

An illegal device but ...... Most security systems are now wireless, run on the same frequencies as cellphones. A cellphone jammer willy block the signal while you are near the camera.

The advantage to a jammer is that you don’t have to dress like an idiot

Uh, I gotta wear a mask all the time due to being one of the highly susceptable folks. Or was that septic. Anyway.

one of these might do the trick:

[JimRed]

If you want to make a point of not being recognized and piss off the watchers, don one of those Groucho Marx costume nose/glasses/moustache and look directly at, and wave to, every security camera you can spot!

I hate to say it, but we would be fooling ourselves if we think any of these measures, if they even work at all, would be a permanent fix.

[Boogieman]

I just took a 3D scan of your face while you were sleeping and made a mask out of that to wear anytime there are facial recognition cameras around. Problem solved!

[Hot Tabasco]

These have been working well for me.....

"Imagine long strands of hair intentionally placed in front of the face in unusual patterns."

So the "Cousin It" look would work?
