I didn't need to know about this

CNN.com is reporting that scientists at Berkeley have demonstrated a material that is able to cloak three dimensional objects.

Geez that gives me heartburn. I'd say I hope that technology never falls into the wrong hands but I can't imagine there being any right hands in this situation. The horrifying possibilities are endless.

If there is a bright side to this situation, the fact that this is going on at Berkeley makes me wonder if this is less about military applications and more about some hippie scientists that can't afford to get caught smoking a fatty.
