	I have followed this thread concerning radar illusion and
evasion for quite some time now.  I have always thought that one could 
destroy the radar gun with enough of a return signal.  Considering 
that these guns work with about one-millionth of the energy that they
output, is seems to me that 1000 watts (yes, i know, it wont all go
towards the radar gun -- little pre-emptive flamage there) that mr.
wilson claims available should pretty much melt some key connections
in the gun.  In all likelihood, the cop will suspect something,
(cops being cops) but it is a point to ponder.  
	BTW, i also think that if you returned *enough* power to 
the gun, it would possible alight *grin*, and the cop would be far
more occupied w/his gun than you.  Just dont get caught, ha!
