As someone who's worked with computer vision, I doubt this is fully effective. It might prevent an exact match, but a good facial recognition algorithm can still whittle down the total possibilities.

Yeah, for it to be truly effective it would be to have some sort of halo of IR LEDs that are brighter than the ambiant surrounding light. This is probably not viable due to power requirements/cost.
It's most likely because there was a lot of attempts to dismantle and undo his New Deal. See particularly 1937, I would bet as the year they most occurred, but I could be wrong on that. I am guessing on that year because things were starting to look little better from the Great Depression, so as lot of programs and spending were cut, promptly followed by the economy falling back down.
