NYPD testing scanner to detect concealed weapons
http://j.mp/Whk6og (WSJ)
"The New York Police Department is testing a new device it says can
detect firearms concealed beneath layers of clothing, a high-tech
crime-fighting tool seemingly torn from the pages of science fiction.
The so-called T-Ray machine detects terahertz radiation, a
high-frequency electromagnetic natural energy that is emitted by
people and can penetrate many materials, including clothing."

Aw shucks -- that concealed carry permit just won't be as much fun for
you if little beeps go off every time you walk by, eh?
