Homeland Security Ban On Infrared Cameras?

[Kasimir]

Hi!
If you want to peek into IR, why to bother using a camera? Why not use glasses? What do you think about this:

Maybe you could make IR goggles using two camera IR filters as lenses? What do you think, could human eyes really see IR?

I spoke with somebody who runs a business using IR cameras to do a thermal profile of heat loss in homes. I asked her about IR cameras being hard to purchase and she mentioned that was not the case.
I don't think there is anything to the original article that started this thread.

I was at a photographers workshop in Chicago last year hosted by a few 'big names' in the industry, Rolando Gomez and Jerry Avenheim and Mark Hauser. I mentioned this issue of whether Infra-Red cameras could be purchased and the consensus of those present was that it is not difficult.

Like Domi my thoughts are that there is not much to the original article that started this thread.
