Eclipse of the gossip journalism

I'll give an update about the Abramovic's mega yacht Eclipse.
A few months ago I told you that safety comes first of all for Abramovic. I was wrong privacy is even more important.
This one is peculiar: an anti photographers laser shield that was added to the equipment of the fantaboulous mega boat. Do you remember?: (2) 3 tenders, (3) a submarine, (4) bullet-proof windows, (1) anti-missiles detector, and (5) an helicopter basement.
This is a whole new concept on the war against media and gossip journalism. The anti paparazzi infrared shield installed on the top of the boat deck could detect the camera's ccds and would shot a light able to burn any photo.
However a friend photographer told me confidentially that even if Abramovic's ways to keep off photographers are quite genial, he would able to dig a big hole on his safety plan just using one of his old mechanical cameras or, better, with the aid of a few colleagues of him: he is sure that the machine would unable to control a high number of cameras.
