If you go by that line of thought, then most likely cammo nets would
logically have imaging scrambling fibers ... much the same way that the
B2 and stealth fighter (f117?) has polymers that absorb radar and IR
images.

I thing the Colonial Marines DID ... at least they had infra red

But isn't the smoke in DSII bi-spectral? I think that is the reason it
DOES work is that the smoke is full of metallic particles and heat so
that thermal imagery doesn't work.
