I think Scotland Yard has a similar device already, but you have to place it up against the wall.

I have several. I call them 'windows'.

I think they've had truck-mounted backscatter technology out for a while now. Nobody talks about it much for some reason.

Why did they use a picture of Superman using his heat vision instead of a much more fitting image of Superboy in his X-ray goggles?

I am not a difficult image to find.

Same as frosted glass. You need to use really thick Scotch tape though.

I don't see how this helps at all. "Oh look, moving objects, start shooting."

There's a reason. The first rule of visibuilding is that no contractor discusses visibuilding.

Breaking the first rule, the idea is to be able to drive down the street in your Mystery Machine, scan the buildings, and see which ones are occupied, and where.

They want to get floor plans. That's a big goal. How's the building laid out, where are the accesses, are there any weird closed off areas that don't obviously have accesses, where are the people, who's moving around, are there collections of big metallic objects and whatnot. It would be nice but likely impractical to develop "signatures" to identify some of the people and objects. Maybe.

The Army does. Some of the units, anyway. Doesn't image so much as look for heartbeats and breathing.

Instead of using x-rays they use microwaves. Because they aren't nearly as energetic 99.4% of the energy bounces off the wall and back into the antennas. When the rest of the energy hits objects on the other side and bounces back, 99.4% of that energy bounces away from the wall as well. The effort goes into filtering out all the energy that bounces off the wall initially, but still be able to pick up the miniscule amount that makes it back from objects on the other side. The computer processes the data into a real time display.

I'll be brining chips and six-packs outside the (college) girls' shower. Who wants to bring salsa?

This thread is devoid of Farnsworth devices.
/I seem to be reminded of something called T-rays that are better for this sort of thing than X-rays.

Alright, time to start coming up with ways to defeat this, internet denizens.

It's based on radar...a thin layer of conductive material should make the walls totally opaque to it. Tinfoil hat for your house?

Spread your legs and place your hands in the yellow circles, please.

This "...used S-band radar waves, which are similar in wavelength to a Wi-Fi signal, meaning they're fairly short."

Means you can probably use this: Wifi-Blocking Paint (new window)
