So I had researched it a while ago and don't recall having found anything effective and non-suspicious to protect from public camera mass survaillence in cities and the like. Is there anything that is a good option for that yet, and if so, could you point me toward it?

Yeah, a high-res image giving the position of ears, eyes, and nose is damning.

ears and eyes alone give you a shocking amount of identifyability. We're getting real fucking close to the CSI levels of facial identification.

Who knew my sensory issues having ass was relatively safe all along between my noise cancelling over ears, sunglasses and COVID masks

You'll still have to be careful they're targeting people with sensory issues and neurodivergence next.

I hope to hell we're not infectious, but I worry for everyone, everywhere, eventually. I'm afraid we're just ahead of the curve.
