Paraphrasing Bonnie Raitt, let's give 'em something germane to argue about. In particular, what do I have wrong here:

I'm far from certain, but I think what you have wrong is the notion that wavelength doesn't matter. I think the courts have decided it does: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joffe_v._Google,_Inc.#U.S._Supreme_Court Specifically, "most of the general public lacks the expertise to intercept and decode payload data transmitted over a Wi-Fi network." Therefore the notion that you can point whatever sort of 'camera' you want at people to capture them isn't accurate. (The other relevant case is that the police do need a warrant to point infrared cameras at people's houses.) -tom
