There is no "panic". It is more a realization that it is becoming difficult to notice recording devices.

I assume the most problematic scenarios are private. Private meetings. Private conversations. Private encounters of every kind in general. Environment in which ordinary people used to have good enough confidence that, unless they see a phone or a camera, they are not being recorded. It no longer is that simple.

Confirming, at least to some extent, that there is no recording going on may now require confronting the other person. And asking them to remove their glasses or hand them over for inspection might be considered rude.

As a result, I think that it might make people more suspicious and less trusting, especially when meeting new people for the first time.
