I love to see airlines incorporate new technology, but this is one I do not want!

And while they make me uncomfortable as a potential Virgin customer, I guess I can be lucky I am not the employee who has to wear a monitoring device all day at work.

At least when someone whips out a camera or a phone, I have a bit of time to dodge out of the way...

On the fashion statement that they make: You think they look ridiculous as they are natively? Well, at one point, she had to connect her GoogleGlass to her Android phone with a USB cable. Not sure why, but for the last half of the party, she walked around with the glasses on, the cable hanging from the glasses down the left side of her face, connected to her phone she carried in her hand. I'm no paragon of fashion, but this struck me as something I would not like to wear....

I'd like to thank each of you for saying what you said here so I don't have to say it. This invasion of privacy is beyond creepy and I'm amazed that so many people seem to have no objections to it.
