An incredible technology that allows a video surveillance camera to see under your clothes for metallic and non-metallic items is going to change how we live from now on. A company called ThruVision has invented a camera that uses “passive imaging technology,” to identify what is under your cloths, and I am sure, in your house or vehicle.

This camera can identify an object by the natural electromagnetic rays it emits. Everything emits these rays, called Terahertz or T-rays, and it comes from research by astronomers into dying stars. These rays fall somewhere in-between infrared and microwaves on the electromagnetic spectrum, and will go through clouds, walls, and I guess clothes.

Hmmm, clouds and walls? That means it can be modified to fit on a plane or drone and have it fly around above the clouds to snoop in your house? Luckily it only works up to 80 feet away, though that’s still pretty far. While this will be a great item for sports events, conventions, and other places they need to screen for weapons, the use of it by say a police car driving up & down the neighborhood really sends shivers up my spine.

It can tell the difference between metallic and no-metallic objects, and can even detect the difference between flour and cocaine. This technology has its place, though if it’s used as an instrument of control, especially by a repressive government to disarm a populace, that would not be good.
