Default Re: Invisibility/cloaking?

New technology is always expensive. So if invisibility were to be perfected, kudos to the country who now owns the tech. (<- future-tense, I know it's not done yet... I hope)

And being that new technology is really expensive, it's highly unlikely it will be available to the public. So given through time, that once the production of the method becomes feasible to purchase by the public, different technology should have already been brought up to counteract whatever malicious effects it may cause (especially considering how invisibility would be getting released to the friggin' general masses).

Like previously mentioned, thermal vision would negate the effect of the invisibility, so it'd be pointless to equip every soldier with whatever device, seeing as how every other soldier would also be equipped with the full Metal Gear Solid, Snake-Eye setup.

Lol, seriously?
Oh noes, there might be an invisible guy, we no longer have the right of life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness. Whatever shall happen to our right to speedy trials?!
