Fortunately there are countermeasures to facial recognition. Even wearing
large mirrored sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat can be enough if there is
not already an identified facial image of you wearing those things in the
database. There are even active sunglasses using near-infrared LEDs under
development that will prevent the cameras from recognizing that a face
is present.

If you were wearing that the last time you were in the casino, they
have it.

As the police state and corporate interests continue their inexorable
encroachment on our liberties in the U.S. It is definitely going to
become more difficult to preserve a modicum of privacy.

What privacy?
Everyone got their panties in a wad over the NSA but Goggle knows a
whole lot more about you than the NSA and they read/analyse every byte
of thor Gmail if you use it. I imagine most "free" email services do.
We are the most spied on populatrion in the history of the world and
the computer power makes all of that information searchable, unlike
the Stasi in East Germany that collected reams of data that they could
never actually use.
