<VV> Endust & Radar

 It's not a matter of how you feel about it, the data say it doesn't work.

Is that the same outfit that said that you cannot blow up a vacuum cleaner 
by sucking in gasoline?

I would NOT consider Mythbusters to be empirical evidence despite the fact 
that they would wish you to think otherwise.

I was merely asking if anyone knows if Endust on the front of a vehicle 
would have a lessening effect of ANY radar of ANY kind.  I expect  the 
answer to be something like - probably not - but I'll wait to see if anyone 
on the list has something to say which makes them think otherwise.

Thank you for your input.  Let's see if others feel differently.

Later, JR
