they need to make it where you can somehow attach to any glasses or it will never work.

I'm with ZOOP on this one.
Every smartphone today has a camera, should they be left at the door of the theater upon arrival? No. The social etiquette is to not use your phone in a theater. It is not forced from your hands, (though you may be shot by a retired cop) as you seat yourself.
What this lacks is trust and education on behalf of the agent in question. Not the other patrons, not the theater in which he'd worn them before, but the guy who THOUGHT he understood the technology, which he obviously didn't.
It was only his blatant misuse of power that turned this into a situation more than a simple exchange between two individuals that could have been as easy as:
Are those Google Glasses you're wearing? You can not record video in a theater sir, that is a crime.
I understand sir. Yes they are Google Glasses, they are prescription, and as you can see by the lack of a record indicator light, I am not recording.

just another little bit and I'll shuddup:
" I kept telling them that Glass has a USB port and not only did I allow them, I actually insist they connect to it and see that there was nothing but personal photos with my wife and my dog on it. I also insisted they look at my phone too and clear things out, but they wanted to talk first. They wanted to know who I am, where I live, where I work, how much I’m making, how many computers I have at home, why am I recording the movie, who am I going to give the recording to, why don’t I just give up the guy up the chain, ’cause they are not interested in me. Over and over and over again." http://www.businessinsider.com/m…
- Boohoo...utopian
- by your logic utopian, since my shoe can fit up your ass it's a weapon and I should be questioned about it endlesslyZOOP
- by your logic ZOOP, you should probably become a liberal lawyer and represent Fox News.utopian
- that made no sense. you're taking one quote from an intimidated person and running with it. bravoZOOP
- the issue: taxpayer dollars are used here to protect corporate interests, completely ignoring personal freedomsZOOP
- since your agenda is to condemn Americans as idiots, you pick and choose, whilst the point is lost on youZOOP

Editorial from the previous day of the 23rd report:
"Why don’t I just give up the guy up the chain, ’cause they are not interested in me. ... who is my boss and why am I recording the movie?" the man said he was asked.
There is a small internal light on the device that goes on when the user is recording. If the feds and the MPAA are going to bust people for using Google Glass, they should at least learn how the device works.

This man refuses to sue, but it's not for himself he should, but to protect civil liberties. Google get on this shit, talk to him, set the precedent NOW

"The man, identified as Columbus-based Tiberiu Ungureanu by the Washington Post, was watching "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" with his wife when a federal agent suddenly ripped the device from his face, even though it wasn't switched on. (He had prescription lenses installed and had worn the glasses to the AMC Easton 30 on numerous previous occasions.)" http://www.businessinsider.com/g…
Shouldn't they verify the damned thing is even on before ripping it from your face? Presumptuous agent is the idiot. What if 50% of the audience is also wearing PRESCRIPTION eye wear, as this case? Maybe infra-red flashes (as used in concerts) can be the solution instead of heavy-handed authoritarianism.
Step up your game entertainment industry, combat copyright infringement capable technology with.... technology maybe?

Is Google Glass big enough to snort cocaine off of?
