Google, as usual, is starting the big marketing push to make them the next big thing. But even more than smartphones with video, these Google Glasses open up a whole raft of privacy issues where they can be taking video of people unawares that is being done. Especially in areas like restrooms, lockerooms and store changing areas. After I retired, I worked part time at an entertainent old steam railroad venue. Part of my job was catching the perverts that tried to use cameras in rest rooms and turn them over to the cops. Now tell me how you catch someone wearing glasses that can take online video at will.

Take the money from the drunken federal spenders.

I don't know how this even makes sense....by that logic we would ban all photography/video equipment it's no different than a video camera........when you see someone leaning over looking at your junk, take normal action i fail to see how google glass is a privacy concern in any way shape or form......you can buy a video camera smaller than the glasses if you wanted to i am sure

True but photographers and videographers often have to get signed release forms to publicly show your image. In this day and age any moron with a Smartphone (and soon Google Glasses) can record video and upload it to Ewetoob without your knowledge or consent. Maybe you're ok with that but I'm not. -- Don't feed trolls--it only makes them grow!
