If we have HN-users who already feel like they need to "protect themselves" against Glass, the general public would be whipped into a frenzy by one FOXNews report.I don't think this is true. There is already "revenge porn" and upskirt shots from cell phones. Nobody has suggested banning cell phone cameras, or even complained about it in any serious way. (Remeber that law that would require camera phones to always make a noise? How did that go? http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h414/show. Out of 435 potentially paranoid Fox-News-loving representatives, he could get no other sponsor.)
I think the whole Glass camera thing is just people trying to rationalize their intrinsic dislike for the thing. (It's new. It looks like glasses. I got made fun of for wearing glasses when I was a kid. They are intrinsically weird.) You can already surreptitiously record pretty much anything that happens in public, and people upload the result to Facebook and YouTube regularly.
