  Jeff,
  This is true, and I did not mean to imply otherwise. If the soup is
  thick enough, there is nothing that can be done. However, it can
  differentiate through mild obscuration, which can be a lifesaver – for
  someone who inadvertently got into something that they shouldn’t have.
  Besides, it’s a cool toy!

  Rienk,
  
  I had the opportunity to operate Navy FLIR's onboard the A-6 Intruder.
  One of the limits of the FLIR is it cannot see through smoke,dense fog
  or clouds. It works on temperature differential and if the obscuring
  phenomona is thick enough --everything is nearly isothermic.
