So someone using it would have to sit in front of each individual home and identify all possible items of suspicion. This could not be and would not be done in a uniform, every home checked basis. Certainly not on the local level. And the DEA with it's approx. 20,000 employees, most of which are support staff are not going to individually FLIR the homes of 300,000,000 Americans. They may go to these lengths, on an individual basis, if someone were suspected of running a commercial enterprise, or if someone gives them evidence to create a reasonable suspicion that cultivation is taking place on any level. So Unless, I decide to call 911 and ask how much trouble I am gonna get in, if I get caught (what a moron that guy is huh?) my original opinion of lottery odds still holds.
your lottery theory would be correct for the average bet.. but, beings I have seen it first hand[multiple times in my neck of the woods] and also have the cases which actually came from the wa. national guard under an FOIA request.. and of course your correct about them standing outside the home for sometime searching.. it still happened...

I do not believe FLIR can be used in court though. ONLY on the sligh of informing other agencies of what they found..

again, I was pointing out what I have as far as FLIR info. to sneak and peek.
