No more infrared nudie pics of Japanese Olympic swimmers

We just bought an infrared camera for nothing now. Foiling our plans to sneakily take naked pics of them, the Japanese Olympic swimteam is using a new material for swimsuits called "Video Proof," which is designed to remain opaque even when filmed by infrared cameras. Descente, the Japanese company which makes the fabric, says that this will help the swimmers concentrate on the competition since they won't be so worried about pervs taking photos of them.
