There have been a few discussions on this list of possible means for defeating such systems operating in public places. I recall suggesting a new religion, whose worshipers are encouraged to appear with veils and masks, might make an interesting legal challenge to anti-mask laws in effect.
I've pointed this out before, but many randoms (esp females) wear false hair and facial camo. Add some Jackie-O accoutrements and you've got your 'religious worshippers' (and some *are* religious about wearing this, tithing significant fractions of their income) on the streets already. ..... The red-light-camera folks don't send a ticket if they can't make out your face (judges demand it); one of their staff commented that they toss out pictures with low baseball caps (etc.) obscuring the faces, but they didn't think people do that *intentionally* to beat traffic cameras. (LA Times story last week or so) ..... Personally I like Subcommander Marcos's Subgenius/Terrorist look... pipe and ski mask..
