Faces are easier to change. Grow a beard, wear some glasses, put on some weight or some surgery if you really need to. Can’t change your eye print, finder prints, vein pattern or DNA.

That's not really been the case for years now.

Apple's FaceID can figure out who you are even with a N95 mask and sunglasses on.

And in most scenarios, you're gonna a) pay with a card with your name on it and b) head out to your car with its unique ID prominently displayed on it.

FaceID fails more than 85% of the time with a mask, sunglasses and a brimmed hat that covers the forehead.
Again, you can ditch your car but your biometric data will go into a pool that will be available to cross check against in perpetuity.

  Now you're "that one guy who wears the mask, sunglasses, and a hat inside".
  Pay cash every time and you're even more noticeable.
  And then they start doing gait analysis or something, or use everyone's Ring camera to figure out where you come from.

  No one is individually observing you like that, no one has time for that. Your palm print will get run during routine searches in a thousand police departments across the country regularly and with whatever hellscape this administration has planned for down the road.

  That’s what the computers and cameras are for. Ring cameras happily use a LLM to describe people on your porch already.
