    Default Anti-drone clothing to hide from Big Brother

    This would be quite funny, but the next step is going to be " Terrorist Camouflage kit" LOL




    Published on 25 Jan 2013


    New York designer Adam Harvey has created an anti-drone clothing collection - "Stealth
    Wear" - aimed at raising awareness in an ever-growing surveillance state. RT's
    Anastasia Churkina meets up with the designer to test out the garments.

    The anti-drone hoodie which can make its wearer invisible to spies in the sky
    U.S. artist showcasing 'Stealth Wear' clothing range at London boutique
    Conceived in response to use of military-style surveillance on civilians
    He jokes his target market will be the 'fashionably paranoid'

    Those concerned about the conspiratorial machinations of the state surveillance
    infrastructure can now swap their tin-foil hats for a more fashion conscious
    accessory.A New York-based artist has designed an 'anti-drone hoodie' stitched
    from metallised material used to counter the infra-red cameras that spy drones use
    to spot people on the ground. It is part of a line of high-tech 'Stealth Wear' that can
    thwart cameras and block tracking signals, which has been unveiled in London this week.





    Clothes for the 'fashionably paranoid': The Stealth Wear line of anti-surveillance
    which clothing has gone on display at a West London boutique this week and
    includes an anti-drone hoodieAlso on offer is a pouch for carrying mobile phones
    made from a special 'attenuating fabric' which blocks the signal so it can't be
    tracked or intercepted by the authorities. And there is also a shirt designed with an
    x-ray shielding print in the shape of a heart which is intended to protect the
    wearer's heart from damaging x-ray radiation.


    Artist Adam Harvey, who collaborated with fashion designer Johanna Bloomfield to
    come up with the range, said the pieces are intended to provoke a debate about
    the increasing ubiquity of surveillance across society.A landmark Freedom of
    Information lawsuit by the Electronic Frontier Foundation last year forced federal
    authorities to reveal there are at least 63 active drone sites around the U.S.

    The unmanned planes – some of which may have been designed to kill terror
    suspects – are being launched from locations in 20 states and flying spy sorties
    across American soil.Most of the active drones are deployed from military
    installations, enforcement agencies and border patrol teams, according to the
    Federal Aviation Authority.

    In the UK police forces including Merseyside Police have trialled the use of remote-
    controlled drones to replace helicopters to conduct surveillance that would usually
    be undertaken by helicopters.




    Spy in the sky: The aerial surveillance drone trialled by Merseyside Police five years
    ago. It was this increased use of military-style surveillance technologies in civilian
    environments that inspired the 31-year-old artist to come up with with the clothing
    line.'Military technology is coming home from the war,' Mr Harvey told Slate. 'These
    pieces are designed to live with it, to cope with it — to live in a world where
    surveillance is happening all the time.'He came up with the range, which also
    includes an anti-drone scarf, primarily as an exercise in provocative conceptual art,
    but the garments will also be manufactured for sale to the public.



    Trendier alternative to the tin-foil hat: Artist Adam Harvey's clothing range includes
    a hoodie and a scarf made with special metallised fabrics that can thwart the infra-
    red heat-seeking cameras deployed on drones






    Provocative: Mr Harvey said he came up with the line primarily as an art concept
    intended to spark a debate about the use of military surveillance technology away
    from the battlefield by civilian law enforcement agencies

    However, due to the expensive materials used in the design of the clothing, they
    are unlikely to go on sale in your local Primark anytime soon.Mr Harvey, who hasn't
    yet pinned down the retail prices for his garments, jokes that his target
    demographic is the 'fashionably paranoid market'.The counter-surveillance Stealth
    Wear range is on display from today at the Primitive boutique in Great Portland
    Street in West London, until January 31.

    They need to make some stuff like this to cover vehicles, shorage sheds, houses, farm crops.
    I just found out the INL has placed a request for a drone. Im trying to understand why different businesses want them and if any conditions come along with acquiring one. For INL its probably to survey thier perimeters for they do serious nuclear research there.

    On another thread I posted links to a map that show where applications for drones have been made from

    There will be 3,000 drones active in the USA. We have not yet any clear understanding of what they well be doing.
