ThruVision T5000 camera sees under clothes: airport security just got better

It seems as if airport security is about to get a whole lot better thanks to the Britain. ThruVision a British company has developed a camera that can actually see through clothes from up to 80-feet away. The camera can detect if people are hiding devices in their pockets or under their clothes.

The ThruVision T5000, will no doubt anger many people who think that it breaks privacy laws. However people who have to go through security checkpoints should have nothing to hide, if this improves security at airports then I am all for it.

The ThruVision T5000 camera uses a technology called Terahertz, or T-rays as it is better known. Do not worry though; it will not be able to see your private parts.

    Yup,

    A hijacker in an airplane can actually make one feel more vulnerable than the very slight discomfort of imagining that someone can see under your clothes.

    Additionally, modern dressing, particularly female dressing leaves very little to the imagination. So, if my nakedness will actually make it safer for me to be in the air or out in public, Amen!!

    This is terrible. Now we have to parade naked in front of someone to get onto a plane. This is sick. It’s like going to the cops to escape a rapist, only to be raped by the cops.
