New Security Camera Can Basically Undress You

It used to be X-RAY Specs and Laser Vision, but actually technology has finally caught up with the sci-fi predictions. Enter the ThruVision T5000 Camera, a technological marvel that is being deployed in UK Airports to help in the fight against terrorism by essentially looking ‘through’ your clothing to see what you might be hiding underneath.
You read that right… the camera has the ability to basically undress you in real time and see what lurks beneath.
The camera is based on Terahertz radiation, commonly called T Rays. T Ray is a very high frequency radiation, more than a hundred times higher than micro-wave, T Rays easily permeate fabric, paper, wood, plastic and smoke with the exception of metal or water. This allows it to go through the clothes people are wearing and detect any weapons or even narcotics carried by the person. T Rays, unlike X Rays present no health risks for human beings.
The camera is also equipped with a normal video surveillance camera to allow security personnel compare images to determine what objects peaople are concealing. The camera is already in use in London’s Canary Wharf financial area and in London’s busy Piccadilly Circus, and of course the potential to roll it out to airports is obvious, although the range is limited enough currently at 25m.
I guess it won’t be long before we’re in a situation where these types of cameras are deployed all over the place.
Thats a good technical advancement for the additional security in the airport.But I guess I personally wont like top face this camera and get watched nude.

Ooooo, I gotta git me one uh these!
a good technical.but it is not good for us.
This device is costly but this could be the best gadget in terminals to minimize the consumed time in checking the baggage. It is also helpful in detecting weapons carried by criminals. During a recession, people wonder what they might do for a little extra cash. Some do the normal thing and get jobs, while other less motivated individuals decide that they’ll go on a spree of robberies. There has been a spree of robberies occurring at payday loans stores. A recent robbery was captured on security cameras in Virginia, where the robber brandished a knife and held up the store – and it’s all caught on camera. The perpetrators of these crimes across the country better hope they got enough from their robberies to afford a really good lawyer.
