MSC Cruises is banning smart glasses in common areas (eu.usatoday.com)

MSC Cruises is the latest one to ban smart glasses and this may be becoming more and more of a problem for people using them.

Previously in Egypt tourists have reportedly been blocked from going to see the pyramids and some museums there also ban them. Saudi Arabian authorities apparently confiscate them at the airport from arriving passengers. Anyone who needs a prescription needs to consider that they may not be able to use them everywhere.

What a bunch of idiots. Anyone trying to surreptitiously record something is going to use their smartphone and any million of apps that play it off as some game or other app. They're not going to use the most conspicuous device that exists short of Homer Simpson's bee hat.

I do think a lot of that goes on with phones already but I will say there are certain situations where the person recording can't do it so well with a phone. Such as when they're actively interacting with whoever they want to video.
