Radar countermeasures:

When I worked at Sanders in a radar countermeasures group I asked
one of our Phd guru types about passive measures like a simple fan
in front of the radiator.  He said it probably would work quite well
BUT even passive countermeasures would be construed as obstruction
of justice.  In the same sense that your license plate must be visible
for all to see, your radar image must also be "plainly visible".
He was at one time a consultant on police radar and worked for the
state police investigating backscatter for potential health risk.
I guess he inquired at that time .  Anyhow, he convinced me not to
persue it.
