So I'm in the waiting room at the doctors office watching CNN and they start talking about invisibility cloaks. This could be extremely useful to the military.

Yep you would be completly invisable until someone on the other side with a pair of thermo goggles starts wondering what the **** that massive red splotch on his display is...
Escalation effect kicks in. Military gets carbon nano-tube enhanced tanks and artillery, terrorists get heat vision goggles. Military somehow incorporates cold fusion into nano-tubes to cloak the heat, terrorists... keep using heat vision goggles. Pretty cool idea though, makes us wonder why someone hasn't done it sooner. Still waiting on my nano-camera armour, though. Future Weapons showed that **** years ago.
