Anti-paparazzi clutch bag gives pushy shutterbugs a taste of their own medicine

Awesome project Adam.. Paparazzi are the crack dealers of the superficial, enablers of the pop-culture scourge that afflicts our culture.

I don't like paparazzi as well, but what if they use a 0 lux camera, so they don't need flash light? Would be better if would stay lit as long as the "subject" is vulnerable.

And what about day time?

It is a start though. Well done Adam!

Better idea for the layman. I was considering this idea for license plates to win the battle of traffic and speed cameras. It would work!

I'm going to be a customer! (This device should be much cheaper than merely wearing 3M reflective clothing, which is what I had planned.) The near simultaneous flash should thwart traffic photography, too, no? Just program sites in and let a GPS trigger flash away as you roar through at four hundred miles per hour, eh? And don't forget those privacy advocates on the streets of London? Then there's DARPA, they'll need to diminish accuracy of laser radiation while making a hasty retreat, perhaps?

Quite interesting ... i have an other use for this device just as a thought, it can be used to be fitted next to the license plate of a car Front and rear, where it can affect the picture of speeding camera!$$ , well we should not be speeding at the first place, but its a good thought.

Moreover, IR LED's can be used as well part of the same to blind IR video recording, I wonder if that can will affect the 0 lux still cameras! I know for a fact IR lED's beams can be captured on Still camera pictures.
