Now this I actually really like.  I have nothing wrong with Glass.  I dont really want one but they dont bother me much.  I would however see this as being a very valid utility for businesses that operate under PCI Compliance rules.

Won't they still have their own mobile connection?  They'll need some kind of jammer if they really want to shut down the glasses 🙂
