In times of widespread face recognition software this might prove futile ... and raise even more suspicions.

Of course he should keep away from social accounts. Other than that, I doubt she would find him.

Basically like new identity.

It would help to clean his name for future employees. Also, a really common name would help probably.

Or even one held by someone already popular.

"Students, meet your new teacher LeBron James."

Googling "lebron james teacher" shows a few basketball instructional videos, so that's a start. And there are Vancouver articles about LBJ too, so that covers "lebron james vancouver"...

I hit the jackpot there, I just happened to have such a name when I was born.

Widespread facial recognition didn't identify the Boston bombers. So long as he resists the need to post many photos of himself publicly, and avoids social networking sites, he should be relatively safe.

Except for having his friends take pictures of him. So he'll have to explain to all of his friends why he's not to appear in online photographs.

How do people in Witness Protection deal with it? Do the Feds have a deal with Facebook/etc, to block facial recognition?
