So you end up with squares wearing revolutionary makeup. Kind of like the guy who wears the Gadsden flag shirt without having any idea what it's for, it's just cool. Or the guy who thinks the Guy Fawkes mask is from V for Vendetta.<br /><br />Sidetrack: At the TS show this weekend I saw a couple of the DTOM shirts, including on my dad. Dude, you are already at a gun show toting around a Mosin, I think the shirt may be redundant.Woodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17258502914515356626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-71779624620515532002012-04-30T11:22:10.635-04:002012-04-30T11:22:10.635-04:00Skimming the comments at the article there is enou...Skimming the comments at the article there is enough "if your not doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about" and "privacy=terrorism" to make me cry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-86612992073213760172012-04-30T10:31:00.784-04:002012-04-30T10:31:00.784-04:00Since almost all cameras are IR sensitive, simply ...Since almost all cameras are IR sensitive, simply using several high powered IR LED's arranged around your face will blind the camera.
