New ‘terahertz’ scanner lets mobile phones see through walls — and through clothes

Comic-book superpowers could become reality as scientists have designed a phone that works as ‘X-Ray spec’.

A hi-tech chip allows a phone to ‘see through’ walls, wood and plastics – and (although the researchers are coy about this) through fabrics such as clothing.

Doctors could also use the imagers to look inside the body for cancer tumours without damaging X-Rays or large, expensive MRI scanners.

  1. Another reason to live like me and save a few hundred dollars each summer by going naked at home. Lower electric bill, water bill, less detergent, clothes last longer, less work, etc.
    Of course the hordes of christian sheeple on here would disagree.

    It’s still ashame they figured this out though—more government spying.

  2. The scary part is Biometric believes everything that he said! He thinks that he is the savior of us all! We will all be begging people like you to save us…….. you make me sick!

    • You want some land cheap, that I own down D.C. way, lotsa nice buildings and stuff, just send me 4 grand, I was asking for 400 K, but you seem special, so’s I knocked the price down for ya… I’ll mail you the title, when I get your ‘cash’…promise I will !

      Really think this assholes a TSA fkwad ? C’mon…

      • …wasn’t implying that you are a fkwad, that title was for the Tuuurd Suckin’ Asshole…

  3. This is actually really good news for me and my coworkers at the TSA. I work at the Denver airport and having something more mobile would help us out ALOT. I think it can make the lines move alot faster being able to walk down lines or throughout the airport. It could help preselect people for pat downs and take away the awkwardness of searching kids. I doubt this will be released to the general public, probably only for us law enforcement.

    • ROFLOL!

      Just like a busted clock being right twice a day, even a moron can come up with something hilarious, now and then!

      Finally, we will see the TSA agents as they truly are! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

      • Perverts are DRAWN to those types of jobs and that’s a fact. They think it’s cute they can live their debauched lifestyle on the job and get away with it. Problem is, they may get a little too secure and run into a child like my son one day out on the streets and get touchy feely there thinking they’re “safe” like they are at work. That is the day they WISH I’d have called the cops because God help me I will beat them into a coma (if they’re lucky), and then I will do the prison time with a Kool-Aid smile on my face. God help these creeps they’ll ALL get what they deserve.

    • Help you preselect? Ha ha, good one. You guys are the last ones who should be allowed to get your hands on that toy.

      • Okay I suppose Alex Jones should be in charge of everything. He doesn’t need to be searched because he usually runs around with no shirt on. Can you imagine if there were no TSA, police, military, government, rules or laws? It would be the wild west and people like you guys would be BEGGING people like me to rescue you. Get real real people. Another thing all you civilians complain about is gun laws, morons like you don’t deserve the privilage to have one. You guys are a danger to each other and to us, I can’t wait until they knock on your doors and start confiscating them so I can sleep in peace at night with my family.

        • I already have a Savior and he decides my fate. If I left my safety up to your kind, I wouldn’t have a prayer. Get over yourself, you sound like a crybaby wimp.

        • bio:
          Troll patrol says yer it !!!

        • so ridding us of the tsa or reforming such things and the mindset behind them suddenly equates to no law, no police, no military, no gov, no anything…really can’t say anything else, your statement speaks for itself

        • I’ve never called a cop in my life and I’ve never needed anybody to keep me safe. I’ve been stabbed, ran over, beat with bats, beat with beer bottles, thrown out a window, jumped God knows how many times, shot at…. list goes on. I can keep myself safe and the day I need any of you weirdos to “protect me” is the day BLOOD IS NOT BLUE IN MY VEINS. I don’t care what you think about “priveleges” to have guns I will have one whether laws say I can or not. Also, in a way I’m looking forward for the showdown martial law takeover – then we seperate the wheat from the chaff and people like you may run into people like me without your government”protection” around and then, guess what? YOU WON’T BE TALKING LIKE THAT THEN – I GUARANTEE THAT! Be careful what you wish for. You’ll get your dream world and it will be to YOUR DEMISE. God always judges debauched, perverted, COWARDS like you!

        • lol at first i thought you were trying to be funny, buutt noooo you really are that stupid, knock on out doors to take our guns way lol, that is a good one. i wish the nwo was also as stupid as you mr little pawn. a little fish pretending to be sombody

        • oh boy the invisible man to the rescue.

          …pretty funny, coming from a talking ‘rib’ !

          You are a talking ‘rib’ right, Mia ?

        • Illumi…

          Blood is Red when oxygenated, via arteries. Blue while heading back to the heart via veins !

          I’ll take my red blood, thank you !

          …not tired that way ! heh heh !

      • YOUR SAVIOR THE CULT LEADER ALEX JONES!!!!!!!!!

    • TSA aren’t law enforcement, TSA are glorified security guards acting out fantasies. Just because TSA requires nothing in the way of a real background check and/or actual police academy training doesn’t make you a law enforcement officer. That’s why they have actual POLICE OFFICERS at airports are there to clean any mess you guys can’t get yourself out of. Thus far, the TSA has become an utter failure and embarrassment to the real law enforcement community. I already know of TSA personnel arrests in my jurisdiction that involved possession of controlled substance (drugs), weapon charges warrant arrests, etc. And after arresting the TSA, they become a housing problem because they have to kept apart from the hard core arrestees to keep them in one piece.

    • You have to remember one thing at least, you’re a security guard and NOT Law Enforcement. You have NO power to arrest and you have NO power to ticket or cite for infraction or incident. All you do is ASSIST real Law Enforcement personnel. That’s all. Don’t grow your ego too large believing you’re an actual Law Enforcement officer when you’re not.

    • Hey biometric you are not law enforcment! You are just another scumbag who cant get a real job! You are not protecting anyone, all you do is harass and sexually asasult children, the elderly and common people! The TSA ( Trained Sexual Assaulters ) have not done or prevented anything! Just because you were given a badge by another scumbag doesn make you law enforcement!

    • Jesus not fear of terrorists that don’t exist there would be a big help!

      click my name if U wanna live!

      • What did you try to say ? Stupid moron?

        …which button shuts you the fk down ? You latent ghomo…

    • The only thing that will help you and the TSA out is a bullet to the dome!

  4. I don’t see how they can do this with “low radiation”.

    • It would be harmful for sure… some kind of radiation used… has to be!

  5. This sounds a little Satan-ey to me…

    • ‘Zippers’ sound a tad satan-ey to you too I bet !

      That magic shit called technology….ooooOOOOoooohhh, satan-ey shit !

      …never mind that T.V…..how’d they shrink those people down soooo itty bitty like that, as to fit them into that thar box, with that glass window on the front ?

      …muuuusst be satan-ey shiiit goin’ on thar…Yikes !

  6. They have something better or it would not be released to the public sector.

  7. They have probably had these all along and we are just now being told.

    • that’s right every one knew about them but you, hell i take mine to the beach all the time.

      • I made the ‘censor kweers’ change a program defeat because of my annoying comments and tenacity…if I comment too fast , now, as of today, (or was it last night ? hhhmmnn…) I have to type the shit up all over, where as last week, I just kept sending it, via back page arrow, ’til it took !…make those fkwads earn their money…Ha Ha Ha !!!…wonder if this one will go through ?!

  8. Now that’s an App I’d gladly pay $2.99 for, ha ha ha….

    • You say that the TSA are perverts, its people like us who have to save you from yourselves and each other as you can see from the previous comment.

      • TSA agents are at the top of “The List”. Right up there with illegal immigrants and Liberal. You will have the honor of being to warm up our barrels. You’ll be purged just like the rest of the filth in our country. Hell. We’ve already got most of the TSA agents in my local airport on video so we can ID them with google and facebook facial recognition. You’re on borrowed time.

      • Believing in self determination, Perchance I had best frisk my 90 yr old mother before I take her to the airport to save you from yourself.

      • Hey DonaldaJerk, LIBERAL means free stupid. Go use your weapon as an eye piece moron…make sure you look down the barrel real good to see if it’s loaded first, you tuuurd.

        Fkng Nazi !
