Damn, I think that I've watched too many "COPS" episodes in the past...

Interesting. Spar is probably the largest
Aerospace company in
Canada. They made the robotic arm for the space schuttle and they
made FLIRs for us. FWIW after the program was cancelled a lot of
the hardware ended up being scrapped and I found a 99% complete
FLIR in a scrap yard. I'm now the proud owner of it :-)
What in tarnations is a FLIR?
