"All those futuristic full-face eyeliner jobs in dystopian cyberpunk fiction might not be that far off the mark. A New York University student spent his thesis time exploring computer vision technology (OpenCV) for ways in which one could confound first-stage algorithms that initially lock onto faces. Then he mixed in a bit of fashion sense to predict future geek chic. Now, whether you want to go for the coal-miner look just to stay out of the data mine, that's up to you."

So I guess if you go to the airport looking like any of those face examples you might not be detected? Right!
To: Clint Williams
They will eventually use detailed heat maps though. Perhaps some sort of thermal signature blocking makeup then?

If you think that’s bad, you should get his latest album “Along Came A Spider”.
