I am looking for some kind of plans, kits, etc for building/buying some kind
of infrared detection kit so that I can see infrared light.  I play laser tag
with a bunch of guys, and would like to be able to follow the beams, etc.
Maybe heat detection would be neat too...then I can see bodies in the dark
(that's the only way to play LT).  Also, we don't get surprised by the
Sheriffs.  We've been snuck up on by them a few times.  Not that we're doing
anything bad, it's just that I don't want to get shot at by a trigger happy
guy out on a disturbance call that someone else caused. It's happened, and
thankfully they had been in hiding watching us for some time to determine it
was not us making any noise.  We only got warnings to stay away from peoples
houses (which we never got close to in the first place).  We have now been
trying to run off people who make lots of noise and disturb the neighbors, so
that we don't get chewed/chased out for something we didn't do.
