I don't know man, you bring up good points. Do you think you could convince a judge that you were not jerking off to infrared pictures of underage girls if those pictures included their underwear? It's hard to imagine a scenario where looking at people with some kind of xray camera would be allowed, by anyone.

It just seems like too slippery of a slope. Police have all the power they need, they do not need anymore. I'd like to see them have less.

Full disclosure - those points are points brought up in court cases. I'm just pointing them out.

Why would I have to?

I understand. But at the same time, you can't bitch about crime (I'm not saying that you particularly do) and not want the police to do their job.

Scenario 1: cops use infrared technology to detect you are likely carrying a gun. They approach, ask you if you are, you say yes. They ask to see your CC permit. You provide it. Cops says thanks, enjoy your evening. The whole "stop" takes under 30 seconds. Go about your business (although if you're on Bourbon there's a 90% chance you're going into bars which is a no no).

Scenario 2: cops asks you if you are carrying a gun. In the case of a true criminal, he attempts to flee and is arrested and charged. Or he attempts to pull out said gun and cops shoots him. Either way, mission accomplished.

I'm not saying I'm all in favor of this new FQ plan, but it doesn't sound like a terrible idea to be honest.
