The point at which you start peering into someone's castle
without a warrant is considered by some to be "too-far",
and deserving of constitution claims of protection.
It's no longer a human peering in, it's a cyborg.
A Thermal Imaging search of a home without a warrant
is a technological attack on privacy.
Whitfield Diffie, Distinguished Engineer---Security at Sun Microsystems:
"An essential element of freedom is the right to privacy, a right that
cannot be expected to stand against an unremitting technological attack."
Therefore the issue of frequency is an issue.
What's the frequency, Jimmy?
