This morning, one of the guys asked permission to have a set of infrared binoculars. Ostensible reason for request: nocturnal birdwatching.
This one I'm having a little trouble believing.

There are quite a few nocturnal birds, actually. Owls, of course, but also many birds migrate at night. Check out http://www.borealbirds.org/concerts.html.
Doesn't mean you're gut instinct isn't right on. Maybe I've seen too many movies but infrared binoculars in the hands of the criminally insane does suggest a certain plot line...
"your" not "you're"
not everyone with a mental disorder is "criminally insane"
No, but 23 of the 24 people on my ward are. (In more politically correct jargon, they are "not criminally responsible by reason of mental illness".)
