IIRC, high-resolution thermal infrared cameras are ITAR controlled-- which means they are not available for consumer applications above an abysmal resolution (something like 320x280).

Public safety like this seems like a great impetus to do what was done for GPS, and declassify this crucial (and now really quite mature) technology for the general public.

You can easily buy a VGA FLIR camera in the US. They'll probably run your name through the denied-party list to make sure you don't have a history of diverting products to countries we don't like.

FLIR will sell you cryo-cooled cameras domestically as well.
