What privacy violating implications exactly? It can see through materials which are transparent. To that radiation. What a novel concept. It's just an IR camera. I'm not sure where you could use it. At best perhaps to get a better look through a flimsy dress. Because humans radiate heat. To an IR camera, we're glowing like light bulbs. Everyone knows what happens when you shine through a sheer fabric.
