 Ah, a veritable digital medusa!

This'd make for a great Cory Doctorow or Neil Stephenson scene: a character has natural facial features or has added tattoos/stickers/ makeup which fuzz or crash facial recognition systems. Like the scramble suit from Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly — "Let's hear it for the vague blur!" — except not quite so evidently anomalous.
