Cloaking shields

My brother was telling me the other day that research into cloaking shields is moving along quite nicely.

 I think it's pretty funny that my future kids could be watching Star Wars thinking:

 "what? They could travel faster than light but they can't figure out a cloaking shield?? I can buy one at REI!"
