Thinking that haircuts will defeat facial recognition is cute but wrong. This is a political/legal problem and has to be solved by political means. Haircuts and LEDs just won't cut it. If anything, they will draw more attention to people.

I refer to LED lamps - similar to those joggers wear all the time.
