Just when you thought surveillance was getting intrusive enough (backscatter, anyone?), these guys have made it even worse — and more efficient. Incredibly, they’ve named it as if it were a late entry into the Terminator series (even the T2000 didn’t have x-ray vision). It may be going live in the UK soon.
It works by picking up “tera-waves,” which apparently we all emit and no one has ever noticed. They’re somewhere beyond infrared but shy of microwaves. And you can use them to see “weapons, drugs, and explosives” but no “anatomical details.” Yeah, right. I’m sure they can tell exactly what caliber you’re packing.

You just SOME reporter… like… WOW! A brand new kind of camera for unobtrusively detecting concealed weapons and other NASTY STUFF among boarding passengers at the airport is, um, an invasion of your PWESHUS WIDDOH PWIVACY dude? Grow up, get a cup detector or take a bus okay?

Its idiots like you that want to enforce the new order on the plant. Idiots like you that cant see past their own nose. what happens smartass when every inch of the main cities for start is covered with cameras that know what color underpants you wear or the size of the dildo you are taking to your girlfriend as a gift maybe?
The posibilities of control and state generated terror and control towords the masses is endless.
In the future you will not be able to do ANYTHING at all without THEM knowing it so imo go get your self a couple of books and open your eyes. At least you still have time.

Thinkin I jez wanna enforce The New Order on the, um, “PLANT” you say? You left off something there Mr. Bookworm — saving the “ET” monicker for yourself perhaps?
So…. don’t they have these x-ray cams on Ceti Alpha VI little buddy?

The company domain is down, and the science sounds fishy. Previous attempts at this have required active generation of rays and research on those lines sounds like that has been required.
The idea doesn’t sound so nice, but is this story really true?

How does this work… if the material is at the same temperature as the human being it should be emitting the same signature of T-Rays as the human being. So why the difference in image?

For us new agers this is the same thing as an arua. The body has a natural energy emitted from day one to day last , then it moves on.
For those of you who poo poo this idea, it is right in front of you, but you have to get off your high horse to see it.
