Police and federal agencies have found a controversial new way to skirt the growing patchwork of laws that curb how they use facial recognition: an AI model that can track people using attributes like body size, gender, hair color and style, clothing, and accessories.

Semi-serious question but totally OT.

I actually like (among others) khaki chinos, and where I live they have no right-wing association that I know of.

Should I avoid them when I come to the US on business from time to time? Is there a chance I will be mistaken for a nazi?

What else should I avoid?

You'll be fine, it's like when people get worried about wearing red or blue or other "gang colors", context matters. The -- in your case pants -- that you're wearing needs to be combined with a bunch of other markers to signal yourself as a Nazi

Yikes, mine are not cargos but... I'll leave my khakis on this side of the Atlantic.
