New Police tool can see inside your house, without a warrant.

[HBARleatherneck]

At least 50 U.S. law enforcement agencies have secretly equipped their officers with radar devices that allow them to effectively peer through the walls of houses to see whether anyone is inside, a practice raising new concerns about the extent of government surveillance.


Agents' use of the radars was largely unknown until December, when a federal appeals court in Denver said officers had used one before they entered a house to arrest a man wanted for violating his parole. The judges expressed alarm that agents had used the new technology without a search warrant, warning that "the government's warrantless use of such a powerful tool to search inside homes poses grave Fourth Amendment questions.

Just saw this... Great. Just great.

Just pick up some stealth paint from the hobby store and paint the inside of all your dry wall. Problem solved.

However, I think it'd be better to fill the walls with something that will cause 35 false positives instead. Although that would be more likely to get you shot.

I need to go buy more tin foil.

So they're going to watch me knock one out?

Tin foil might actually cause problems for it... Tin foil wallpaper to the rescue!

Foil clad foam insulation would do the same.

Any paint with metal filings mixed in will do it, too.

Lead-based paint?

I have a project coming up that will require entry into more than one room with "magic paint" and a dual escort.

I'm sure there are some MIL or ex-MIL here that know what what but this is just silly PCI security stuff.
