I&amp;#x27;m picturing myself running around the outside of my house looking for hot-spots to re-insulate and hence justify to my partner the purchase price of the device.  Or hot electronic components. Or playing a TSA creep and looking for ill people on public transport. What fun! (I hope other manufacturer&amp;#x27;s race in to this market.)</text></comment>

So if you are interested in IR applications you can create them yourself: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.sparkfun.com&amp;#x2F;products&amp;#x2F;13233&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.sparkfun.com&amp;#x2F;products&amp;#x2F;13233&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
