Hell, I still sometimes think about the research team that tried to make a camera in a bus (so at the front pointed towards the faces of riders) obtain passwords from the reflections off of sunglasses. They collectively facepalmed when they tried it with their test subject, but accidentally picked up the passwords of several others on the bus that were not part of the experiment.

That was something like 8-12 years ago... Capabilities now are likely insane.
