Terahertz Imagery Progresses
ke4roh writes "Since Slashdot last discussed
terahertz imaging, the European Space Agency's Star Tiger project has
taken terahertz images of a human hand.
Some of the pictures
show just how useful the imagery might be for peering through walls and such - one of the images is through a 15mm pad of paper." The EE Times has another story.
I predict the #1 use for this technology will eventually be peeking through woman's clothes.
-insert a witty something-
No more wishing for x-ray vision. Woman's locker room here I come!
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these taking pictures of Natalie Portman.
hope they took pictures of some good looking hands, i mean, one without warts and stuff. I need new images for my hand fetish website!

In Alias the terahertz camera could see thru 30 meters of earth.

What the porn industry can do with this! No more fake celbrity nude photos!!
These things have been available in comic books for years.
. This sig unintentionally left blank. I meant to put something here, but I'm busy.
As if the black car sitting outside my house wasn't enough, now I have to deal with this kind of government surveillance too!? At least now I know where they got the pictures of my Anti RIAA boxers from...

until you can make out a nipple...
According to the article, the frequencies are used only certain moths. It also talks about using the frequency to carry terabit wireless networks...
Does this mean that that I could use the wireless network to create swarm of attack moths that can see through reams of paper.
I can finally overtake the pointy haired boss and rule the office!
A: "Wanna TeraHertz Donut?"
B: "Sure!"
A Hits B
B: "Ow!"
A: "TeraHertz, Donut?"
You are not the customer.
What kind of engineering is required to make the 'lead underwear' required to block these. Certainly not a simple tinfoil hat.
Where are those pictures ;-)? Weren't there some night-vision camera's that also did that?

maybe now we can see into the mind of a Teletubby, and figure out the deep ephemeral purpose to their existance: as well as our own. at least look into their skulls and see La-La's ball.
Just wait, by tomorrow morning Apple will have an article on their webpage about the "Terahertz Myth." Soon afterwards AMD will release the Athlon XP 1100000+, but it will really run at 700000 Mhz.

Now I have to deal with wallhackers outside of Counter Strike.
An image of a hand in the 430-750 trillion Hz range shows remarkably more clarity than the new technology!
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these taking pictures of Natalie Portman..
Imagine the X10 camera ads this will bring forth...
Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.
They are already working on those for airports. In a way, I will feel sorry for them having to see me naked just so I can get to my plane faster.

From the article:
Everything gives off terahertz radiation naturally, and like radio waves -- but unlike heat or light -- the waves can pass through some solid objects.
Light waves can't pass through solid objects? Except, you know, glass. Or clear plastic. Visible light can't pass through things that are opaque, moron. That's why they invented the damn word in the first place.
There are no trails. There are no trees out here.
Locker room, they're already naked!
Banaaaana!
You could see if your neighbor is plotting against you and then preemtively strike him.
.... Not sure how that would work. You would probably get pretty tired running away from every armed person, depending on where you live.
Protect yourself from armed muggers!

MacGyver built a teraherz camera out of a banana peel and a rubber band.
if you were in a hotel with a camera like that, and you looked through the wall, and what you saw was someone spying on YOU from the other side of the wall.... because then... its like, what can you do? can't call the police or anything... mabey just take the guy out for a beer, really. share storys....
-You're wasting your time. Alfador only likes me.
Maybe, but some of us geeks who live on pizza and cola (or beer, whatever) and never work out might get through a lot faster!!!
Besides, why would you need a strip search if you're already seeing them naked?
