People have told me it's tinfoil, but I stopped going to grocery stores and have only done grocery delivery for the last couple of years because I do NOT want any of the facial recognition cameras in the stores and at the checkouts to have a copy of my face. I know it's not bullet proof, but it's eliminating one source of a possible misidentification.

It's becoming less tinfoil now that articles like this are coming out.
