Be sure to remember that when ...

... we're burying the victims of the next terrorist attack, which is sure to make 9/11 look like a holiday.

With our current administration's attitude and our state of war, now everyone else in the world hates us almost as much as Islam does. It is only a matter of time before the next attack lands like a sledge hammer on our heads.

Any anti-camera device whose intent may be to stop paparazzi from snatching a picture of Jennifer Anniston, or whomever the next big craze is about, can also be used to interfere with the protection of our borders through interfering with the detection of known terrorists. This places people at risk; your children and mine.

Frankly, I just don't see the value in this research - and whatever their field - they should concentrate on research which betters the human condition, not worsens it.

Just my $0.02, and you're certainly free to disagree, but the world has seen a lot of pain as the result of researchers who couldn't see past the nose on their face to realize what evil ends their work would lead to.

Regards,
Jon
