New Device Will Sense Through Concrete Walls

The shorter the wavelength, the more likely it is to reflect or absorb.

But it also depends on the material. Conductive surfaces tend to reflect all EM. For example, the metal sides of a microwave oven or the walls in an elevator block EM radiation no matter what the frequency.

But for non-metals, it depends a lot more on the frequency and on the material.

Cool!


Bump!

If someone is talking to Al Queda, I want the government to know. And I'd like them to know without creating additional opportunities for leaks!

"An 'unreasonable' one is"........

also one obtained on false pretenses or evidence, or a blank warrant signed by a judge in advance, too vague in it's description, etc. etc., the sort used constantly NOW!

Even if it means warrantless searching? Push to repeal the Fourth Amendment, then. Or declare martial law.

There goes our privacy, bitt. This is definitely the work of Rumsfeld. Darn that Bush administration!

Watch for the New York Times to publish the blueprints and all technical specifications for the device.

As I'm sure you know, there is no expressed "right to privacy" in the US Constitution.

The "right to privacy" does exist in at least one STATE Constitution, (Alaska), and the State government froths at the mouth trying to ignore the consequences of a stated "right to privacy", such as the fact Alaskan courts have held up to four ounces of pot are legal under the Alaskan STATE Constitution's "right to privacy".

Already, various states have disallowed the results of blanket sweeps of neighborhoods with thermal detectors looking for pot growers. Under the lack of "probable cause" and violation of the fourth amendment.

Like it or not, there is NO RIGHT TO PRIVACY in the US CONSTITUTION.

The fourth Amendment does not require a warrant, it only requires that a search be "reasonable", whatever the he!! that is.

Don't get me wrong, I am against Orwellian use of these powers.
I am uncomfortable with any US government intrusions into the lives of our citizens, but..., what the he!! else can we do when we are trying to survive as a nation?

The REAL world means we can't always observe the letter of the law. If there is no America, what matters what "rights" we have?

The DEAD have NO RIGHTS.

The rights of American citizens have almost always been "suspended" during ALL of our past WARS, what makes now different?

It sucks, but welcome to reality, otherwise Jefferson Davis's statement that ...(the Confederacy) "died of a theory" will apply to these United States as well.

And we act surprised when a study comes out that the majority of high school seniors believe that newspaper stories should have to be approved by the government before publication.

The fourth Amendment does not require a warrant, it only requires that a search be "reasonable", whatever the he!! that is.

It means a police officer can't do a search unless he has a good reason to believe that the person being searched has committed a crime.

One thing that we can do is change peoples attitudes about allowing private citizens to enforce the law. This is a big taboo with a lot of people and the idea is usually scoffed at and derided. Many think it is outright illegal and dangerous.

Let's change the laws so that we can help the government do things that they are prohibited by the constitution from doing. Give us back the right to wiretap, keep dossiers on suspicious characters, exchange information on terrorists and criminals.

If the government is prohibited from measuring radiation from buildings then let us do it. If they can't wiretap the crooks, we should be allowed to. The Constitution restricts the government, not the people.

[porkchops 4 mahound]

Yes, that is what it is supposed to mean.

(Subject to the interpretation of the courts, which is why there is "some" doubt.)
