Caught this (dunno if it's a repost) earlier linked from a website.


<< One way is a holographic scanner capable of producing 3D, computer-generated, fully nude images of people who pass through the device. >>



<< an operator can see not only weapons but also the entire surface of the naked body >>

free pr0n for workers. maybe it's an incentive to get people to work :D

Hopefully something like this would never be used. I'm for better security, but this seems like it's going too far. If they used it on me they would be envious ;)

<< Scientists also must overcome the scanner's appetite for computer-processing power. Right now it takes six to eight digital imaging processors and a gigaflop of CPU power to produce an image in 60 seconds >>





/me craps pants

Wow!

Course, like Bruno said...me going through the scanner would only make the men jealous and the women swoon. :Q :D

<<

<< Total Recall! >>



I was wondering when I might see that in real life.

Total Recall was more of any X-Ray thing, as I recall, you saw people's skeletons and
not their naked bods.
