It sounds like this system looks for lenses, so eyeglasses are out too, I think.

BTW, I read that Israeli General Moshe Dayan earned his eyepatch while looking over a berm through binocs. The mulitple lenses slowed the Egyptian bullet down a lot, but not enough.

I dont see it zooming in and smoking every poor sap that happens to be wearing a pair of Kenneth Cole frames.

Probably a little more high speed then that.

In the interests of historical accuracy:

During World War II Moshe Dayan served in the British army and was part of a Jewish advance unit sent to prevent the Vichy French from blowing up the bridges between Lebanon and Palestine, thus providing time for the British main force to take the offensive. It was during that campaign that he lost one eye; he was looking through binoculars when a bullet ricocheted off them.
