Ask Slashdot: Anti-Camera Device For Use In a Small Bus?
Paul server guy writes "I am building a limousine bus, and the owners want to prevent occupants from using cameras on board. (But they would like the cameras mounted on the bus to continue to operate; I think they would consider this optional.) They would also like to do it without having to wear any 'anti-paparazzi' clothing (because they also want to protect the other guests on board), and without destroying the cameras. (So no EMP generators, please). We've done some testing with high-power IR, but that proved ineffective. Does anyone have any ideas that they are willing to share?"
Trunk Monkey!
1) Cover all the windows
2) Passengers on high-class limo travel in the dark
3) Install an infrared camera
4) Sell film to adult and/or paparazzi websites
5) $$$PROFIT$$$
You could just constantly play a movie in each corner of the vehicle. This way anyone trying to film your clients would inevitably end up making an unlawful reproduction of the film and then you just sick the MPAA on them.
Have you done any research into "The Cone of Silence"?
The best solution that comes to mind is to create a small black hole in the center of the bus. If it is of sufficient mass it will draw in all the light gravitationally, thus preventing the cameras from capturing said light.
Better known as 318230.
Distribute paper bags for them to put on their heads. Punch eyeholes.
At last, something to reject even more forcefully than beta!
And my owners want the traffic to clear in front of the limousine as the bus rolls into a congested area, but they are ok to have the traffic pile up behind the bus. We've done some testing with really loud honking but it proved ineffective. We don’t want to destroy other cars either, so no shooting torpedoes, please!
There's no such thing as "illegal download"

Some people are just control freaks. Did you ever have a teacher like that in grade school?
No, when my gradeschool teacher put us onto the Fuck Bus we were allowed to video tape it ourselves.
Paint goatse decor everywhere, then nobody will want to take any pictures.
Excuse me, but please get off my Pennisetum Clandestinum, eh!
This is an excellent idea!
Just blind everyone so they can't find their cameras! Even if they do manage to find their camera, they can't see shit so their photographs will suck.

Anyhow, what's different between that and restricting your WIFI to yourself?
And there's the solution: encrypt the photons so only the authorized cameras can decrypt them. Make sure you use WAP because it is too easy to collect a lot of photons and break WEP.
Its in Alpha test.
Try again.
