T-Ray Camera Sees Through Clothes, Preserves Privacy 315
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.

I blame modern advertising techniques. When you have ads on TV with blinged up rappers saying 'When I is vexed wiv me dry hands man, I get me some Oil of Olay - it's da bomb' - it's no wonder security staff get confused.

I propose a MANdatory tactile inspection of breasts for milk at every airport terminal in the country. No, i propose the same test be administered randomly to women on the street since airports aren't the only viable targets.

Just how many women do you think would pick up a pair of Privacy Britches (TM) to go through the check process? I am betting 99.9999%, with the very small percentage being nymphomaniacs, exhibitionists, and freaky sadistic grannies.
On Another Note... How many men would be stuffing their pants with aluminum sausages out of vanity?
Just possibly there is a product in the works here.

I always eat a bunch of Habernero taco sauce and bunch of spicy burritos/tacos before I go through airport security. I promise the guy who attempts to probe me will be talking about it when he is 90 years old.
Unless they are using 90 year old guys to give the tests, in which case it might kill him.
