LinkNotes: ThruVision T5000 T-Ray camera detects hidden objects

Camera 'Sees' Under Clothes

A British company has developed a camera that can detect weapons, drugs, and explosives hidden under people's clothes from a distance of up to 25 meters. This new device may prove to be a major breakthrough for the security industry, helping to keep crowded airports, shopping malls, and large sporting events safe.

The high-powered camera, called the T5000, was created by the U.K. Company ThruVision. The T5000 uses a new type of "passive imaging technology" in order to identify objects by the natural electromagnetic rays, known as Terahertz or T-rays, which they emit.
