I would think that yes you would still see an
invisible mage with thermo goggles. Unless they used
the enhanced invisibilty.

But what do I know...

Goggles _are_ a camera-and-screen system. When you use thermographic
goggles, you aren't looking at REALITY, you are looking at a very small (and
very close to your eyes) vid-screen.

Which is why mages cannot satisfy Line-of-Sight requirements for spellcasting
using them.

Ergo, yes, the rent-a-cop security guards, with their CHEAPER thermo-goggles,
see invisible characters. But still, ofc, not IMPROVED invisible characters.

Think of the goggles as a very miniaturised
closed-circuit-security-camera-and-screen system that you just _happen_ to
wear on your face.

Essentially yes. There is no-one in the mages line of sight for the
magic to fool, so the camera could pick up the normal (or
thermographic) image and someone looking at a monitor in a control
room would be able to see him.
