police can now 'see' inside homes

[sparked1]

I hate to break it to you, but we have had the ability to see through walls for quite some time.

FLiR cameras have been used on helicopters for a long time now, but I think the tech might be making it's way to your standard cruiser and handheld now?? Scary ****.

Can they see through metal walls ? Like say a metal building ?

Sure.

Thermal imaging can pickup body heat but insulation can defeat it.

Handheld? Yup.

Insulation contractors and captains who navigate at night use handheld thermal cameras.

So if ya have metal siding over Masonite siding, then insulation then sheetrock .... Am I safe now? LoL .... not really a serious question, just wondering what it'll take to defeat it.

It is called a window! Or in Alabama a winder...

Spray foam insulation is the ****.

Lead walls....with some good quality asbestos insulation.

I guess it would depend on the length of the microwaves but you could use the radar absorbent material found in microwave popcorn bags. In theory it would absorb the energy and not reflect it back.

I had the idea to line the inside of a car bra back in the day but then lidar came out and I never made it that far.

So insulation for FLIR and microwave popcorn bags for badass radar.
