    Cool, so now a 3D cloak can make a tank vanish from the thermal sights of half the world’s militaries, and somehow nobody in the write-up bothers to ask who gets the first crack at buying this. Can’t wait to see the press release that says “for civilian search and rescue.” Where’s the section on how fast a cheap knockoff hits the black market? Cause that’s the part that’ll actually matter, and it’s conveniently missing.
