#5  There was a science fiction book by Gibson that postulated a counter for computerized facial recognition. Basically the computer running the software was hacked. A government secret agency wanted cover for their own agents so when an agent was violating the law of their own country they'd were a piece of clothing with an embedded code that would signal the software not to see them. Of course the hardest thing for a secret agency to do , at least in fiction, is to keep a secret.

#3  Facinating! But I dare say they'll never replicate with TTL, man's innate capability for cognitive em>remote viewing. "Every soldier citizen a sensor".... and all of that. I want no part of the man's future. It frightens me.

#2  I think the Isrealis have had this kind of technology for while.

I also understand IR imaging works just as well and of course at night.
