If google glass becomes popular, I'll expect to hear this phrase more - "Please take your glasses off before we proceed.."

Well before long we will have integrated prescription glasses + Google Glass. So maybe it'll just be, "please turn off your glasses" :)
Google or someone on kickstarter should make a clip for google glass, so we can put it on and off in a matter of seconds. Don't want to carry a second prescription glass around
Google has said they're working on Glass hardware that'll clip onto regular prescription glasses.
Waiting for the first guy to create a "Glass jammer" that kills nearby Glasses. (Guess it would not be practically possible)
It would be possible consentually--Google could design in a protocol whereby, say, getting in range of a certain recognized Bluetooth class turns off recording features until you leave.
Apple has a patent on disabling cameras in a given location:

...and then we'd have a real reason to root. ;)
