Plasmas screen electromagnetic waves of frequency less than the plasma frequency, omega_p, with a skin depth, delta, specified by the electrical conductivity, sigma. Current estimates of the transport properties of the QCD plasma indicates that photons with energy less than 250--500 MeV would be screened with a skin depth of 2--4 fm. In a hadron gas, a little below T_c, screening occurs for much softer photons, of energy less than approximately 50 MeV, albeit with similar values of delta. If the QCD plasma is indeed strongly interacting, then it can be proven by merely looking at the brightness of a fireball from different angles.
