Recon-iii

Although the Border Patrol has cameras -- daytime and infrared -- trained on wide swaths of the Arizona desert, it still sends individual agents into the field to watch for incoming illegal activity. Sometimes, they need to scan long distances for people trying to stay hidden, and this device, called the Recon-iii, lets an agent see an infrared image at a range of up to 10 miles.
