And any coherence in the light that hits the film in my Canon as I snap one poorly composed photo after another is purely accidental unless the scene has been painted by a targetting system. What is a laser Jim? LASER Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation An atom in an excited state, ie one that is not in the ground state, may be stimulated to release a photon by an incoming photon. The most interesting part of this is that the emitted photon after the interaction is in phase with the incoming photon and in the same direction. Get lots of these interactions taking place in the right medium and you get a river of photons all in phase. That's what coherent means in optics - in phase. Check your Webster's and please read the definition that says "3. Physics. ..." Go to any optics book. Want references? Thermal radiation ( what you are imaging with your snooperscope ) is not coherent by any definition that I know of. > The fact is, that if you take a lens and form an image there IS most > certainly a level of coherence.

The more interesting processes that would be going on at and in the walls of the house would be reflection, scattering, absorption, diffusion( thermal) and reradiation. These effects would probably vary widely with construction materials and wavelength. The end result as these wavelengths are incident on a wall might vary from little or no effect, through blurring to outright shielding. > Glass howerver is reasonably transparent and as a result the light doesn't > lose coherence through that.

Folks: The Canadian Broadcasting corporation is running a segment on the 10pm news tomorrow on e-privacy. To the public's comments and suggestions on the issue they have created a discussion forum on thier web page. Seeing that the folks on this list are familiar with the topics, I ask that you visit the site and enter a few words of your wisdom. Regards Robert http://interact.cbc.ca/cgi-bin/WebX?50@7.nLRXaJbgbeb^0@.ee768e8 A study by Canada's privacy commissioner reports that almost half of Canadians are perfectly comfortable with retailers compiling personal data...if there's a reward paid to the consumer. (Such as a discount or free goodies). Tell us what you think about e-privacy and who should know what about you.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/1/13767.html Carnivore does more than previously thought By: Thomas C Greene in Washington Posted: 05/10/2000 at 14:49 GMT Heavily censored FBI documents obtained by US watchdog outfit the Electronic Privacy Information Centre (EPIC), under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, indicate that the FBI's electronic snoop known as Carnivore might be able to monitor a good deal more than just e-mail traffic. Among the capabilities that peek out from behind all the indelible black swaths in the documents is an ability to reconstruct an entire Web page as viewed by a subject. A planned, updated version may even be able to capture voice-over-Web communications. Presently the system can capture and record all packet traffic to and from a selected IP, while monitoring a subject's on-line movements. <SNIP> -- ----------------------Kaos-Keraunos-Kybernetos--------------------------- + ^ + :Surveillance cameras|Passwords are like underwear.

CDR: UK Companies free to snoop on staff
by R. A. Hettinga 05 Oct '00

05 Oct '00

Obviously, if someone who uses company assets for personal business deserves all the snooping he gets, at least theoretically, though certainly not in actual practice. The tweak in the British RIP vs. Eurocrat case here is that, same as it ever was, the nation-state is again quite literally expropriating the resources of employers by making them subject to a human "right". ;-). "The 'Poor'?? Are there no prisons?" Cheers, RAH (Who believes we'll *all* be proprietors some day, and none of this garbage will matter anymore...) --- begin forwarded text
