And yet they arrest you if you go around nude on a hot day….Shesh!

It just happens to be called a T5000? Sounds like SkyNet to me.

So much for that radiation limit that we are supposed to be bombarded with each year.

Apparently, electrical conductors such as metal and conductive liquids such as body parts (66% salty water)are opaque to T-rays. So a $5000.00 invasion of the public privacy is cured by 5 cents worth of aluminum foil.

I bought a pair of those X-Ray specs when I was a kid. They created a sort-of halo around things. I took them apart to see how they worked (like I did everything) and was surprised to find a small down-like feather in each eye hole. I never did understand why the feather.

I have to wonder what Muslims are going to think of this thing — obviously, they are VERY sensitive to anyone seeing under the hijabs of their women.

6. Fahrquar. You beat me to this one. It was the IR nightvision aspect that allowed it to see thru clothing, I believe. My Uncle had one.

Use in trains and subways is ridiculous. People shouldn’t be treated like criminals because they are carrying guns.

Sony had to pull a camcorder off the market a few years ago because it would “see” through clothes. Apparently quite well from what I remember reading.

This reminds me of the subway scene in Total Recall. Phil K. Dick was a visionary.

TeraHertz, technology. Very cool stuff. See your patient’s broken bones, and sterilize him at the same time.

I knew I’d chosen the wrong HMO when my doctor walked into the exam room wearing X-ray Specs

I bought a set of those specs when I was a kid.

Boy was I disappointed when they showed up. I don’t think they had the “An hilarious optical illusion” disclaimer back then. If they did, I was too young to know what it meant.
