Since this is in the microwave spectrum, it is an evoultion of stealth counter-radar technology. Probably how the F-22 bends radar around it. There really is no reason that other wavelengths can't be manipulated simularily, other than much research.

Microwaves are a certain length of the electromagnetic spectrum. Light is part of that...

Yes, I am quite aware of that. That isn't what they wrote.

Microwaves are not light.

Is this how Bush, Cheney, and Rove have been able to sneak into all our houses at night to read our emails and listen to our phone calls without anyone seeing them? (should we start a pool on which crazy Dim will actually propose this as a reality?)
