Sounds like he watched Blue Thunder one too many times :) Thermographic
vision picks up heat patterns given off by whatever it is you're looking
at; you see where an object is warm and where it is cold, but that's it.
Sure, if you lean against a wall, the wall will heat up and someone on the
other side will (eventually) see where you are, but you can't see
_through_ a wall with it -- only through materials that are transparent to
infrared light (Adam Getchell will be able to name you some, I'm sure :)
