"Thermal Imaging Gets More Common But The Courts Haven't Caught Up"
National Public Radio's Katie Barlow posts about thermal imaging:
"These devices — which show you the image of what you are looking at but with colors highlighting heat levels from objects — are getting easy to own and use.

But it also raises an interesting legal question involving the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure."
