a camera that looks through clothes

The last time i saw this technology was a James Bond movie where he had a pair of glasses with which you could see through the clothes, it was a good fantasy…..

A camera that can “see” explosives, drugs and weapons hidden under clothing from 25 metres has been invented.The ThruVision system could be deployed at airports, railway stations or other public spaces.It is based on so-called “terahertz”, or T-ray, technology, normally used by astronomers to study dying stars. Although it is able to see through clothes it does not reveal “body detail” or subject people to “harmful radiation”, according to the designers.

“It is totally and utterly passive – it receives only,” said a spokesperson for Thruvision.
