Or better yet - look out for Klingon and Romulan cloaking devices....

    When ignorance sweeps America these are the politicians that get elected. Pathetic. I cannot even fathom the voters that elected these three.

  2. The Japanese had already started something like this several years ago.

  3. I have seen several reports over the years. This video has the best demonstrations so far.
    To date all the devices I have heard of are only effective over limited frequency ranges. i.e. visible light only, megahertz radar only.

    Hence the reference to "super materials" aka "meta materials" designed to have the same properties from IR on up in all directions. JMHO but think these passive devices will not make it think we'll need power like the Romulans used.
