ok, so someone can potentially see me naked.

Um.... so what? Seriously, why is everyone so bothered all the time about nudity?

Although it can see objects under clothes, its designers say the images do not show anatomical details.

Nothing to see here (Literally) Move along.

Pfft! This technology has been available for years!


/Time to feed my Amazing Sea-Monkeys

You know.... if they could take a picture of me at the airport and let me go on my way rather than being frisked, having to go back and forth through the overly sensitive metal detector (the rivets in my Levi's set the farking things off), and then wait 15 minutes while Tourist Bob yells at a TSA guy for not letting him through with his new MLK Freedom Fire Lighter he bought while he was in town... take my farking picture.

Don't they already have this?

"fears that Britain has become a surveillance society"

Gee, ya think they've not already crossed that line?

Good thing I wore two pairs of socks today.

The new technology, known as the T5000 system

Judgment day is around the corner.

I'm painting my phone number on my chest with lead paint for all those, sexy, sexy TSA ladies.

On second thought, perhaps that's too much work for 3 women.

His knees are too sharp.

I wonder if it detects breast implants. Cause Ill turn in my 2 weeks get some jergins and que up an airport job.

So will it be like The Sims?

Weak. GIS "ThruVision" for examples of this very low quality British pr0n. US versions are much better.

You can sort of do this already with night vision cameras. It only works with one-layer clothing (e.g. bathing suits) and in very bright light (e.g. the beach). But you can certainly see through clothes with that camera in those situations, from a good 50 feet or so.

/I um... heard about it on the Discovery Channel...

PRO TIP: ur cameraphone camera can most likely do the same thing. On very sunny days and with girls wearing thin, white clothing.

1. Hold your TV remote up to your phone's camera.
2. Press a button on the remote, checking to see if your camera picks up the IR light.
3. Buy an IR lense or tape exposed film negative to your camera lense.
4. ?????
5. PROFIT!!

Will it show the crooked teeth?

Pathetique: Good thing I wore two pairs of socks today.

Ha!

What is next for our UK brothers, a device that can look through walls to catch all those unlicensed TV viewers?

Hygiene Officer, sir. Do you know why I've stopped you?

Please take a look at this image.

I'm going to have to cite you for that skidmark.

YixilTesiphon: Every time I hear that phrase I instantly think back to the movie Falling Down, and I do remember that guy who didn't want to be forgotten.

Musicology101: ok, so someone can potentially see me naked.

It should be enough that The People are widely against it to preclude the idea as viable. I'm sure there's something in the British statues about government deriving their powers from the consent of the governed.

Just as long as the screeners don't get jealous of my package... of heroin balloons shoved into my kiester.

/Should've stopped that sentence earlier.

FTA:

ThruVision already offers a smaller system designed for office foyers voyeurs that can scan through clothing at a range of 30ft-40ft.

Can it see through mylar?

fappomatic: "fears that Britain has become a surveillance society"

this line elicited an audible hilarity response.

Arseholes.

Frosted Flake: I'm painting my phone number on my chest with lead paint for all those, sexy, sexy TSA ladies.

Ok, seriously, I actually saw a really hawt TSA lady at the airport in Denver while changing flights. I didn't think such a thing existed, but, there she was. I nearly faked a bomb just so she'd have to frisk me and give me a body cavity search. But then I realized that it probably wouldn't work out that way; it'd be some guy named Bubba who'd do that. Ah well, I can dream.

Anyone remember that school that was so paranoid about pedos visiting their site that they covered the kids faces with acid house smileys?

I'd imagine this technology doesn't only work on adults...

So there's your angle for creating outrage against this technology.

For the good of the children its better that this system not be implemented in public locations such as shopping centers etc, right??

justchecking: Will it show the crooked teeth?

Why yes - yes it will.

Just like the American version will show your fat arse.

/cliches are fun

/cliches are funtrue

When I went to Vietnam, there was a guy at the airport that had this camcorder stand pointing to all the people who walked out of the airplane gates. Upon walking by I noticed the camera was some kind of high tech xray camera. The image was SUPER CLEAR. It looked somewhat like that camera from the movie: Total Recall(Arnold Swart.. and chick with 3 boobs). Anyways, I guess its used to fight heroine drug smugglers.

Was really impressed by this equipment and the fact that it was used in Vietnam, a country where the majority of people can't even afford a Hyundai.

dasc: Can it see through mylar?


What's a "lar" and how did you get one?

Ah, celebrity websites will never be the same...

I thought Sony already made a camera with that capability years ago, but yanked it off the market.

I'm an American, and on average we are fat.

However, it is likely to increase fears that Britain has become a surveillance society.

Beg pardon, old chap, but your steed is now absent from the barn.

The ZBV Drive-By Screening System(p), which is a version of this system scaled up to the point that it can literally x-ray a house, is already used in 'urban surveillance' by the DHS.

"The system is unobtrusive, as it maintains the outward appearance of an ordinary van."

Musicology101: ok, so someone can potentially see me naked.

you obviously haven't seen me naked.

/ewww...

Can't they just use the machines they have at the airports for scanning your bags?
just send people through...

I'm not telling.

BuckTurgidson: Hygiene Officer, sir. Do you know why I've stopped you?

Victory, sir. It is yours.

They were showing this off at ISC West last year. It is fairly limited in that it can see through a single layer of light clothing. It didn't seem to be super effective with thick or dense materials and it's definitely a one layer thing.

If you guys want to see me naked, you can stop inventing stuff. Just ask.

...no no no....it can't be that easy...

ok...

Let's see it Marla Singer's Laundry !!!

/nobody else look! I was the only one brave enough to ask!
