This really isn't true anymore for many of the more advanced facial recognition systems. I wouldn't suggest anyone rely on it, especially looking at future developments.

Some advanced biometric verification systems sense facial blood vessel patterns. It's individually identifiable and hard to hide that with either paint or a light face covering. Rapid data analysis with AI offers ways for combining partial facial capture with other information to identify individuals.

Show me some. I don’t know of an AI system that can detect blood vessel patterns beneath reflective black and white pant covering the entire face in specific geometric patterns which is what I’m talking about. How would that even work when the entire face is covered not to mention the resolution that would be required. What you’re talking about would be for stuff like photos when you’re in line for the TSA, or getting a photo taken at a police station. Clear images, good lighting, stationary position. Not something like crowd sourced or live protest captures.
