RE: Tampa using cameras to scan for wanted faces--
Can the program be thrown off with masks? If so, how about making some of those advertisement fans with the pictures of random people wanted for parking tickets on them, then walk through that end of town. Possibly better yet would be fliers, balloons, and bumper stickers. These could be given away to people in areas that don't particulary trust the local police anyway, or simply applied to cars of people who frequent areas such as the employee parking of the local court house. Either could be distributed to bars. Can the things be fooled by using black markers to add shadows where there should be none? Will painted on faces become the new rage in Tampa? I can just see people wearing "war paint", some to avoid the cameras, the rest because it's fashionable.

Hmm. It might work for the current generation of cams, but not for stuff which actually measures the face topography. And, of course, you can't hide the other biometrics. It seems, even plastic surgery has its limits. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://www.lrz.de/~ui22204/">leitl</a> ______________________________________________________________ ICBMTO : N48 10'07'' E011 33'53'' http://www.lrz.de/~ui22204 57F9CFD3: ED90 0433 EB74 E4A9 537F CFF5 86E7 629B 57F9 CFD3
