Default Dennis, someone did a test of this once...

Not sure what the % tint was, but they found that it did interfere a little bit, but the range was still acceptable. Plus, it's only going to affect the rear visibility.

You might try searching the B5 archive for some more info.

BTW, the shirt arrived and the g/f loves it. No need for the elective surgury though... damn!

Default Dennis...radars (X, K, Ka) are RF signals... tint should affect it.. Laser is another story...
