Australia Tests Radiation Free Body Scanners

Airports in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, ran tests in July on a new type of body scanner that releases no radiation at all.

The new devices from a UK based company uses a “passive” screening technology. Rather than emit radiation, they receive terahertz waves naturally produced by objects and people. When a concealed object blocks those waves, it appears as an anomaly.

However, unlike the generic body that will be seen on the updated scanners in the U.S., this newer device does show actual body images—but without showing “intimate” parts. The company claims the machines neither capture nor store intimate body details. You be the judge:

No word yet if Australia is going to replace it’s curent technology with this.

I thought the gun was something else. I don't like how it outlines the body. Still a bit too much for a perv to get off on. I prefer the stick-type figures.
