I’m actually a bit surprised this hasn’t been taken on before. Same goes for chameleons really. I said it when I was in the Army years ago that we needed uniforms that could blend in like a chameleons, but after everyone stopped laughing they asked me how it could ever be done. I didn’t have the answer but I wish I did. $$$

It probably already exists and is in use. It’s just classified ^.^

Don’t that just suck? When ya’ come up with a good idea but, not knowing what avenues to take in realizing/developing that idea.

Lol! Yeah I agree, however, it would seem that this form of concealment tech may have been made ineffectual by the advent of [“Smart Dust”](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartdust)

What is so interesting to me is the possibility that the research and development of this tech may usher in further discoveries in “neural circuitry” tech.
