re: fair game

Most likely you are correct, that is what the authorities will think and that is what most normal people will believe as well.

Personally, I'm amazed that a ban on headgear and sunglasses is not already in place for all banks and places of commerce. YES, it would be inconvienent for some customers.

However, it's truly maddening how many times security cameras are foiled by con artists, forgers and the like by simply wearing a ballcap and looking down during the transaction. Even if you catch the person, the jury rightly throws out the positive ID because you can't see their face clearly.

Or maybe there's just a raft of check fraud and ID theft in the US...
