It might be simpler to just wear a Burka.

Although at least in Germany this will collide with masking regulations (you are not allowed to mask in public gatherings).

Not just in Germany: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-mask_laws

In France in particular, there's a full ban in public places, even if there's no gathering.

I don't think the point was that we should all go to the scramble-suit store and buy a scramble suit...

No, but we need to keep ahead of this technology, and fight it whenever we can--for those that care? I'm beginning to think most people just don't care? What I find ironic is any criminal with any forethought is going to become a master of disguise--without going to that much trouble.
