A British company called ThruVision has created a camera that can detect weapons, drugs, or explosives hidden under clothes from up to 25 meters away. They will unveil it at an exhibition on March 12-13.

The ability to see both metallic and non-metallic items on people out to 25 meters is certainly a key capability that will enhance any comprehensive security system.

I wonder at what resolution these “non-metallic items” will be shown by this camera. If the Paparazzi can buy these, the celebrity image market will never be the same.
