On a pair of heavy framed eyeglasses with my exact prescription there is attached a lifelike though large plastic nose. Below that is attached a thick bushy mustache (in real life I do not have a mustache). I put on this efficient and elegant tool of nondescriptness when I go the GAP. And other places where anonymity would seem to be the issue. I hear Hitlers mustach actually came off and he would buy you a beer on his day off even if you looked a bit swarthy! Cheers! Mark Rabiner
