A step to far in my book this is outrageous and it will be happening here soon I would guess.

Within the next year or two, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will instantly know everything about your body, clothes, and luggage with a new laser-based molecular scanner fired from 164 feet (50 meters) away. From traces of drugs or gun powder on your clothes to what you had for breakfast to the adrenaline level in your body—agents will be able to get any information they want without even touching you.

And without you knowing it.

welcome to 1984


read my sig! pretty much sums up the so called LAND OF THE FREE hey? (its plato by the way cica 450BC)

Sweet, sounds sexy.
What else would they like to know about me?

In all seriousness, pretty crazy how technology is being used, I don't have a problem with it personally.

 

[Shayper]

If this comes into mass use, expect riots.

It's unlikely though.

 

[bloodiedathame]

When they see my testosterone levels they will tremble in fear.

 

[Pixel]

They'll soon wonder where all the tourists went.

They'll worship my THC levels

**** the police!

 

[LOAM]

The fact that its been announced likely means its been in operation for the last decade

Every thought about breaking the law?

then your nicked 'me ol mucker'

 

[Curio]

It will never fly.

 

[EdGey]

Sweet.

I wan't one of these things.

 

[Judgeneo]

No offence but I'll believe it when I see it.
I don't think such a technology would be currently possible

I had to check that wasn't published on April 1st.

While I imagine the underlying principles are sound I don't believe for one second a laser fired from 50 metres away is going to penetrate my pocket and wallet bounce off some cocaine on a bank note then make it's way 50 metres back to a detector through said wallet and trousers and set of an alarm in picoseconds. For a start it would take light 166834 picoseconds to travel 100 metres.

This is PR junk to get funding and most probably sell another generation of inefective scanners to airports.

I'm happy with that summary.

i skimmed through the thread and read that differently... the way i read it was a lot funnier

 

[TNGL]

They'll never know how massive my e-peen is though, never.

 

[StriderX]

If true, although i don't see how it would be accurate at that distance, then all one needs is to lather one's self with so much chemicals that it scrambles the sensors.


Pointless, completely, entirely...pointless.

Once again only really harms stupid criminals and the rest of the population, smart criminals are usually in league with the very people who say they "defend" us, so its laughable.

Roll that **** up!

I really doubt it can do what they are claiming. How the hell are they going to tell what you've had for breakfast unless you've just had breakfast when it is going to be pretty much digested into it's component proteins and how are they going to be able to tell your adrenaline levels I really wonder ...
