In response to the White House's recent trend of prohibiting cameras at press briefings, CNN on Friday said it sent its in-house Supreme Court sketch artist, Bill Hennessy, to Sean Spicer's latest press briefing.
CNN said it "equated press briefings to a Supreme Court argument -- an on-the-record event at which cameras are banned." The network argued sketches of the briefing had news value in the same way courtroom sketches do.
News organizations and the White House Correspondents' Association have protested the Trump administration's decision to scale back on-camera press briefings to unprecedented levels.

I have to wonder if the Glass getting an upgrade is a coincidence. It may be time for "citizen journalism" using Google Glass now, if this is how they're gonna play.
God damn it. I knew on 9/11 this was gonna happen, I was just hoping to be in Canada by now.

Google Glass has a light that comes on when you record. It's one of those features intended to prevent what became the Glasshole hate.
Maybe you can find a way to disable it. But I think the security there can find your obvious recording device.
