Incongruity writes "News.com is reporting that a team from Georgia Tech
has developed and demoed a system that actively [0]searches for and
effectively blinds cameras and camcorders within a 10 meter radius."  
From
the article: "In this system, a device bathes the region in front of it
with infrared light. When an intense retroreflection indicates the
presence of a digital camera lens, the device then fires a localized  
beam
of light directly at that point. Thus, the picture gets washed out."
