Firstly, here’s a list of cloaking techniques that will most likely never be illegal:
- normal hats
- spectacles
- facial hair
- any hairstyle you choose
- breathing masks (where the air is filthy)
- sunglasses (when outdoors, until clear sunglasses are invented…)
- makeup
- scarfs
- motorcycle and bike helmets (while you are riding)
- full face coverings (like a burqa)
- fake facial hair
- fake facial tattoos
- fake noses
- hats that obscure the eyes or side of your face
- sunglasses indoors
- scarves above your chin
And for transportation, you should always be able to walk, although it wouldn’t surprise me if running without a valid reason becomes illegal. Joggers might be restricted to special zones. Anything with a motor or wheels will most likely need to be registered, and have a built-in location chip. Expect that you will need to register these within the next 20 years:
- bicycles
- skateboards
- scooters
With public transportation, before long everyone will have re-loadable travel cards that will require registration. Eventually face recognition systems will be used in combination with travel cards, so that there will be no way of fooling the system.
If cloaking becomes too much of a problem, expect curfews to emerge, as well as “reason to be there” zones.
