"...a breakthrough for the security industry."

More like a breakthrough for Big Brother.

Every kid who read a comic book in the 50s and 60s knows there's nothing new about this technology:

It does not reveal physical body details and the screening is harmless, the company says.

I'd buy that for shilling.

Let me get this straight, it can see under clothing yet it does not reveal physical body details?

-

If the technology works on radio waves, that makes sense.

I guess.

I'm sure the LEOs will never ever use the device for recreational purposes.

Not even that. It's just the typical breathless reporting of "Advances" from the UK, usually Medical, that either have been around for years, or will never be heard of again. It makes them feel better, in between Yank Bashing, which accomplishes the same thing.

Read the Daily Mail online for a few weeks, and see what I mean.

A quick search on terahertz imaging shows the extent of the "Old News" nature of this silly report.

Yep, that’s my understanding. It’s tuned to terahertz radiation. Our bodies are more into infrared.
