A camera that can "see" explosives, drugs and weapons hidden under clothing from 25 metres has been invented.

The ThruVision system could be deployed at airports, railway stations or other public spaces.

Ok, so it cant see people naked - but it's a pretty good development and could help with terrorism and crime etc.

Absolute Rubbish. If it could see Knickers & Bras it would be a Win Win. Catching terrorists is boring unless they get shot in the head multiple times.

And even then they might not be terrorists.

But I don't want to see through my clothes. I want to see through other people's.

Quoted for the truth.

I remember when the Sony Handicam came out with the IR/night vision feature. In the right lighting it was capable of seeing through a layer of clothing. They discovered the mistake and modded the camera with a filter. Fun for all ages.

A good use for a clever tech
For those not reading, it can't see any kind of body detail, just a glowing outline.
Hmm... outline porn...
