X-ray cameras inevitably bring to mind the beautiful in human body in all its glorious nakedness. If that’s what you have in mind, read no further. But if guns and weapons are what you want your x-ray camera to detect ThruVision’s T5000 will delight you.
If the recent news about suicide bombers has scared you out of your wits, T5000 will be your faithful buddy and detect weapons, drugs and of course explosives from as far as 25 meters. The camera detects something called t-rays (natural electromagnetic or Terahertz frequencies) bouncing off of human bodies and uses a software to check for non emitting objects. So that’s the key to finding all those nasty objects that infamous people like to carry under their clothes.
Although metallic things won’t stay out of sight of this geeky goggle, it won’t reveal any details of human anatomy (a euphemism for what’s underneath those clothes). ThruVision would also have us believe that their fancy camera can detect stuff even when people are moving. Also the device doesn’t affect the monitored person at all (that’s also good for not getting your life punched out).
T5000 will debut at the Home-Office sponsored scientific development exhibition, and from there it will make its way to shopping malls, airports, subways, concerts and other such places where security is a bit jumpy. As far as the nudity is concerned, you are left to curse your luck and supplant the geeky imagery with a bit of imagination.
