A man was interrogated by the Department of Homeland Security for several hours earlier this week for apparently using Google Glass to record a screening of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit before deciding he actually wasn’t trying to pirate the movie and was instead just trying to enjoy a night out.

Google Glass has had it’s share of teething problems since it’s debut, as people has found it hard to accept other’s wearing cameras on their faces, potentially recording their actions at any time. 

Wearer’s of Glass, on the other hand, have often found themselves feeling judged for wearing the devices. 

Matt Honan, one of the original adopters of Glass, and one of its biggest proponents, said “I made people dry uncomfortable. That made me very uncomfortable.”

“I’m never sure when they’re welcome,” he continued, “I’m not wearing my $1,500 face computer on public transit where there’s a good chance it might be yanked from my face. I won’t wear it out to dinner, because it seems are rude as holding a phone in my hand during a meal. I won’t wear it to a bar.”

After going through the photos on the movie goer’s Glass, the feds decided that he wasn’t attempting to steal content and let him go.

The man described his experience with DHS agents as a scary one, saying he’d been left shaken by the incident. 

He described agents roughly yanking the glasses off his face during the film and five to ten cops and security guards waiting outside the theater, though ICE hasn’t responded to a request to confirm these details. 

Evidently, Glass remains more or less socially unacceptable, and until the rest of us can accept some people wearing cameras on their faces all the time, it will remain that way.
