“Hi Linda,
I am a photography professor at a major college in the
Midwest. Our department recently placed a purchase order for
a infrared digital still camera. We were shipped the normal
spectrum version of the camera with no explanation. When I
called the NYC photo suppliers, I was informed that Homeland
Security has placed a ban on the sale of ALL digital still
and video cameras with infrared capability! Only law
enforcement or other agencies can buy them with approval
from the manufacturer. They cannot be shipped, but must be
picked up in person. An end user license must be completed
in the store.
I immediately recalled your recent talk on Coast to
Coast AM about there being ‘something’ in the infrared
spectrum our government does not want us to see. Our photo
program merely wanted to buy the infrared camera for the
interesting landscape photographs IR is capable of
recording. You can verify my email by following
this link to the Major Photo retailer.
Earlier this year, Eastman Kodak suddenly and without
warning stopped making infrared film, which had been
available for decades. No reason was given, but I now
believe this ban came from Homeland Security. Clearly there
is something in the infrared spectrum that the general
public is not being permitted to see, or record.”
