I would have guessed that the uproar came from the USA, but it seems 
a Japanese (men) magazine discovered this bug/feature....not that the 
uproar come from the magazine itself of course....8-))

It is not an unknown feature either....all natural materials (paper, 
cardboard, leather) are known to leak IR. They just have to be thin, 
and man-made/artificial fibers might then also do the trick.

But I doubt the resulting image is very interesting....at least not 
as interesting as au naturel....;-))

Then again, Japan is known for an obsession with pubic hair, so even 
a faint image of that would cause an uproar.

Now you also know why the Japanese economy is in a decline....;-))
