T-Ray Camera Sees Through Clothes, Preserves Privacy
Quite a few readers are sending in stories about ThruVision's products, slated to be demonstrated in Britain next week, that are claimed to use Terahertz radiation ("T-rays") to detect foreign objects under clothing, without revealing body details, from a distance of 25 meters and while the subject is in motion. T-rays lie on the electromagnetic spectrum between infrared and microwaves, and are the subject of lively research efforts worldwide. ThruVision says it developed its products in cooperation with the European Space Agency.
pr0n!!
oh wait.....
I love humanity, it is people I hate
Everyone knows the real threat is breast milk and hand cream. Why are we scanning bodies for weapons when there are people trying to get on the plane with Starbucks coffee??
jpegs or you're lying!

They might as well call it Titty-ray. I'm no longer going to regret dropping out of high school and becoming a TSA agent!
Time to make some aluminum foil underpants to go with your hat.

...owwwww my sperm!
OH wait.. that was an F-ray!
I drink to make other people interesting!
They can do what they want, but they'll never see through my tinfoil overall. I even have a catheter, so I never have to go pee. They've got cameras in the toilets, too!
I'm an infovore...
...so long as you redefine privacy to mean exclusively "photographic images of your body", and exclude anything else including the contents of your own pockets. That's a pretty narrow definition of privacy. So narrow, in fact, that it stops being privacy at all. [ Reply to This ] Have a bit of pity on the people who have to look at the pictures all day. That's an aweful lot of disgusting bodies to look at for just a few good looking ones!Do it yourself, because no one else will do it yourself. [beta blockade 10-17 Feb]
Also, it doesn't help google searches. You will find plenty of sites selling trays if you search for t-ray!
Is this the same reason why some men become gynecologists?
They go through a few miles of bad clam just in the hope of getting to that few inches of celebrity/supermodel paradise?
You mean the one of the guy with the knife hidden in the newspaper?
Considering how image conscious teenagers are, I don't think she'd be happy being made to look like a cross between a colthes store mannequin and Krtyten from Red Dwarf.
It's true I tell you, feller at work's next door neighbour read it in the paper.
Bastard! you robbed me of my chance to get a +5 funnay!! I WAS JUST GONNA MAKE THE FUTURAMA REFERENCE :.(
My -1 Troll is actually a +1 funny. And my -1 flame is actually a +1 insightfull.
I think thats a great idea. I'd find it amusing a bunch of female terrorist whipping out their strap-ons and proceding to shoot the place up. THAT would be a sight to behold. Guerrila warriors with Boob-bombs. While i'm sure this scanner would be used in conjuntion with other tech my image would make a great traditional war painting.
That's nothin. The good folks in alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.female have had this technology for years.
I can't wait to see the T-ray kill a bunch of velocirays and then bellow loudly as a banner falls from the sky saying "When Privacy Ruled the Earth."
