[kj] (OT) How much make-up can you wear, when flying?

These guys should all get through, then: http://sp8.fotolog.com/photo/24/11/50/dj_atum/1229011982385_f.jpg

But seriously, the second this engineer figures out a way to realistically disguise the face with translucent makeup/substances that either distort the scanning waves or bounce back the scanning signal, that's the day this engineer Adam Harvey will be granted full and irrevocable tenure at Guantanamo University.

    Someone must have told him if you work too hard... you can sweat"

"Adam Harvey, a designer and technologist with NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program, has begun reverse-engineering algorithms behind face detection. He generated a series of blocky images that could become the "building blocks of anti-surveillance makeup," and focused on the simplest yet most important patterns for foiling the face-recognition tech. Some patterns that successfully hid faces from detection are surprisingly small, Harvey notes. Those included a few patches scattered primarily around the eye region, whereas larger beard-like patterns sometimes ended up being detected."


Jaz might be onto something?
