The NYPD is developing a new way to seek people toting guns on the street by using radiation scanners that can detect those packing heat, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly announced Tuesday.
The technology which works similar to infrared imaging includes a mechanism that can detect a natural energy, known as terahertz radiation, that emits from a persons body, Kelly said during his State of the NYPD address.

Not around here. :thumbsup: I would guess not so much in FL either.sadly people are voting for this kind of stuff.
I'd almost be willing to bet that the ACLU will fight this as an illegal search. Unless I'm mistaken, it's already been ruled that there's a reasonable expectation of privacy in your home - they can NOT use infrared sensors, etc., to monitor what people are doing inside a house. Likewise, I'd think there's a reasonable expectation of privacy in what's not visible that you're carrying in your pocket, or purse, or whatever. No probable cause = no search.
In other words, if you were a female who carried a purse, do you believe that the police have a right to search your purse for no reason? What's in pockets, under the clothing, etc., is no different. The police already can't just go up to people and say (without cause) "show me what's in your pockets" in an attempt to find people carrying pot. This is no different.
404 Error: X-rays not found.
This reads radiation naturally emitted FROM your body. It does not expose your body to any external source of radiation.

Sadly, our lawmakers are hiding laws like this by wording the intent of the laws very carefully. It takes a legal degree to make heads or tails out of them. If they were in plain English they would never pass. :thumbsdown:sadly people are voting for this kind of stuff.
Guess lead lined man bags will suddenly become popular.
How will this work exactly though, for an xray don't you need a capture device (such as a film) on the other side of the target? An xray machine is not like a camera... or is it? I always thought the way xray worked is the xray machine sends a beam of radiation and it penetrates more/less depending on what it's going through, and the beam then modifies the film.
Or do I have that completely wrong? Maybe I'm thinking of another technology?

As far as I know they still fly over houses in helicopters using infrared to find pot growing operations.
