Hope this doesn't stop the full body massage I get at airports because of my titanium knee! Here in El Paso I have to pay for that kind of treatment, and they even charge an extra hour for handcuffs! .......Uhm. Maybe I've said enough.
I find a couple of things very disturbing in this article. At the surface it is what all of us should find disturbing and that is a clear violation of the 4th amendment. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Next, lets look at a quote from the article: “If something is obstructing the flow of radiation, for example a weapon, the device will highlight that object.” The "flow of radiation"? They are talking about terahertz radiation being blasted at you from a distance. There have not been any studies on the effects of such radiation but A study published in 2010 and conducted by Boian S. Alexandrov created mathematical models predicting how terahertz radiation would interact with double-stranded DNA, showing that, even though involved forces seem to be tiny, nonlinear resonances (although much less likely to form than less-powerful common resonances) could allow terahertz waves to "unzip" double-stranded DNA, creating bubbles in the double strand that could significantly interfere with processes such as gene expression and DNA replication". This was just a model but there is no conclusive evidence showing it is safe either. Lastly I find this quote disturbing: “The technology is going to get there,” Kelly said, adding that he is pleased with the progress made in the last year. Yeah, I bet he is pleased...
And their argument will be that you or I are in public and they use cameras to surveil the public, which is legit. I'd hate to bet what this supreme court would decide.
This would create some new challenges...

I will be safe. My tinfoil hat will throw them off.
I'd say that toilet paper has also taken advantage of technology. The good stuff is much better than it was 40-50 years ago lol. The cheap stuff still is full of wood chips for better grabbing power.Technology is not always a GOOD thing. Look how it has been incorporated into just about everything short of the tissue you use to wipe you a$$. People who want to know something about you can find a way of getting that knowledge through our ever expanding use of modern conviences. We really need to go old school and get off the grid or kiss your provicy goodbye.
