Unless you walk around wearing a license plate around your neck, I'm not sure how it's relevant here.

One could argue that you're wearing a license plate 'on' your neck. Facial recognition and that.

Don't forget "Gait DNA"[0] for tracking your movement through a crowd, even when your face can't be seen.

I wear my face above my neck, thanks.

Your phone is probably in your pocket.

I have the choice to leave my phone at home, or take out the battery, or if I'm feeling incredibly paranoid even stick it in a Faraday cage. My face, is my face.

What about it?

Facial recognition software.

Again I'm not really seeing your point. One goes about in public "openly and notoriously" as the legal jargon goes. It is expected that one's face would be recognized.

I really can't stand people who use "Not seeing your point" as a substitute for "Disagree with your point."

I'm actually using it as shorthand for "your sentence fragments do not amount to an argument."

Trust me, that's not what it's shorthand for.
