Can somebody else from Europe confirm, that by their law Google Glasses are illegal? Here, in Latvia, we have a law, which forbids selling, buying or using (even transfering) certain objects, which are listed as "goods and services of strategic importance". And Google Glasses fall under one list item.

Most notably, the part which, I believe, applies to Google Glasses is as follows (bad translation, done by me):

Wired or wireless video and television cameras (with exception of mobile phones and computer cameras), which are masked as other objects, or their dimensions are smaller than 40 x 40 x 40 mm, or their diameter is smaller than 25 mm, or they are fitted with a pinhole lens.
