1. The infrared cameras the police have are superior to this. On a helicopter it is a voyeurs wet dream.

And how about those cell phone interceptors?

Is your privacy really invaded if you do not know it is?

[TheKentuckian]

4. Of course it is. The 4th doesn't say unless we are careful enough for you not to notice.

That is your argument that your privacy isn't invaded if I come into your house and go through your stuff as long as I do so carefully enough to evade your notice.

Hell, in principle you would assert that given the availability of the technology and as long as it could be done without notice you would open our very thoughts to those who desire their contents it seems to me.

Is the very concept of privacy a crime in your mind?

I find it difficult to believe this kind of nonsense is actually how you think government should be structured and interact with it's citizens or if you do how one can be such without being a wholly authoritarian dumpsterfire that is openly contemptuous of civil liberties all the way down to the conceptual level and wonder who such folk would set as our "god" in such a case in despair.


I hope you just like absurd arguments.

[Fred Sanders]

5. Your outrage is misplaced...the only absurdity is a failure to comprehend my drift.

Privacy is privacy, invasion without knowledge is even worse than invasion with knowledge.

[TheKentuckian]

6. I didn't find your drift clear. Hard to see a tongue in a cheek via text at times.

2. SCOTUS alread ruled against this type of thing.

SCOTUS already ruled against the use of IR technology to see things like "grow lights" in residences. The use of these radar for this purpose just needs to be challenged in court and it will go down under the same logic.

3. There is a lot of weird stuff on that page

USA Today isn't what it used to be!
