I agree with you for the most part. Like drones, would expect legislation to catch up with the tech at some point. You are not allowed to put your camera up someones skirt, it's perfectly logical expect peering through the skirt would be added to that list of shite you can't do to people. Why should police be exempt from this?

Except the public can not stop and detain you for what they think you might have in your pocket.

I think with training and experience they could show they can positively identify guns with a success rate good enough to meet probable cause.

Maybe, but we should not have to give up our privacy to help police do their job. There is no way to insure they will not abuse this ability.
