If there hasn't been then surely all that needs to happen is for check-in staff, passport control etc. to grow a pair and demand that where its necessary for ID to be confirmed or faces to be seen that anything obscuring that is removed.

My understanding is that security staff should ask for any face covering to be removed, and if requested, a private room and female member of staff is available (to confirm identity, nothing else, before MLM see's this).
As with any security system, if the people running can't be bothered, then checks won't take place, and as demonstrated by the reporter who travelled on other people's passports, you don't have to cover your face to get through in that situation.
The only search related complaints which spring to mind are Diana Ross, and that poor woman in the US who was forced to use pliers to remove her nipple piercings behind a screen in the main security area, while the male security officers giggled like little school boys.
