I like the way you think, your explanations make a lot of sence.
What if the pictures were normal except the lack of a copter which you could see with your eyes? This is the clame, I think, and I dispute it as being impossible.
You talk about the above technologies as theugh they are real and you have working knowlege of them - care to share? I am fascinated. Been an amateur photographer to over 20 years and love everything to do with the subject. Your post therefore is right up my street! Share any info you have on this please?

I don't buy the inviso-copter thing either. But if "won't take a photo" means it came out black, white, or fuzzed, yeah, I could buy that.
I've worked on a couple of projects to mess up other optics that work sort of similar to a digital camera, sort of, hence the comment about screwing with the light metering. And the optical glint detector started off life as a pre-treaty anti-personnel sort of weapon.
The SF and Marines were using target designators on suspected sniper positions - they're basically IR lasers - and if you're skulking in a building looking at the team with binoculars or a rifle scope, it's bad karma to catch a nice IR laser in the eye through them - sort of like looking through a telescope at the sun. It was effective enough that a project was fired off to develop something more automated, it turned out you can spot lensing systems pretty well at a distance with some clever optics and processing, and you can find anything from people's eyeballs to rifle scopes. So you tote this thing near the point, and anyone looking at you, photographing you, or using a scope or binocs on you, gets it, right in the eye.
So, in 1995, just about the time the first cut of the system made it to field testing, they passed Protocol IV which banned intentional laser blinders.
However, it's not against treaty stipulations to target optical systems without eyeballs, and legend has it that you can generally distinguish eyes from CCDs. Since the treaty doesn't ban the occasional 'whoopsie' blinding as long as the intention was not to blind a human, it's ok if you mess up.
Incidentally, IIRC, there was a trial or two of a de-tuned civilian version for use in theaters to prevent recording of movies with camcorders. Spot the CCD, tap at the camera with a low power IR laser, it either whites out or closes its iris. No movie.
ETA: Don't say military tech never brought you any practical applications. Your tax dollars at work!edit on 14-7-2011 by Bedlam because: (no reason given)
I doubt it's 100% effective in any case yet. But I have no doubt they are working on it.
