(FINDER) can locate individuals buried as deep as 30 feet (about 9 meters) in crushed materials, hidden behind 20 feet (about 6 meters) of solid concrete, and from a distance of 100 feet (about 30 meters) in open spaces.

Well, I feel better knowing Homeland Security wants to be able to detect heartbeats through 20 FEET OF CONCRETE.

I'm sure they only have our best interests in mind when co-opting this NASA technology.

They would never have a different agenda than looking for survivors with this, right?

Good Hunting, Janet!

I’ve got a device that can detect heartbeats under 1000ft of concrete.
I need $100M to continue to study it as my results are inconclusive.

Oh by the way it also will end Global Warming.

I wish I were a tech nerd-

There is a fortune to be made by the person or company that invents the device that blocks/jams the signal this finder puts out-not to mention the attorney who handles the first lawsuit involving such a blatant invasion of privacy as monitoring an individual’s vital signs without express permission...

Tom Clancy wrote about something very similar in “Rainbow Six” if I remember correctly. They used the technology to track the bad guys in a Amazonian Rainforest. They were able to direct the ‘good guys’ precisely to where the ‘Bad Guys’ were hiding out.

it is for taking out loony patriots in THEIR bunkers.
also to detect life after a bombing strike, to find out if they need another run.

That’s all well and good until odumbo’s army decides to use it on innocent US citizens.

This will bring a shoot-on-sight mentality for those that perceive a threat to themselves from FEMA.
