Indeed, and at this point in time, facial recognition is the most cost-effective and practical way to implement such wide spread identity tracking, which in this case can be defeated with a facial covering such as a gas mask, balaclava, handkerchief etc.

The point being, this phenomenon of people wearing stuff to fool facial recognition is not effective or helping in anything at a larger scale. (And in the meantime, "defeating" facial recognition on a small scale makes you stand out even more as an individual. Normal people don't wear masks while walking outside.
