In a three-year project that launches this month, Natalia Nikolova, an electrical and computer engineering professor, will be working with researchers from Canada and Ukraine to design devices that use radar signals to analyze the materials carried by a person.
The technology — which can be built into a military vest or a tripod, for example — is designed to emit radio waves that reach a person. The waves that bounce back will carry unique information that can be analyzed by computers.
"This radio wave, as we say in radar terminology, interrogates the person and it carries back information from this target," Nikolva explained. . . . .
The privacy concerns caused by many detection devices are minimal in this case, Nikolova said, because the frequency range used isn't high enough to generate an image of the person.

Oh Ya, this is super.
Project failed because of inadequate pattern-recognition software.
In three years these things, miniaturized and associated with cameras will be on every street corner in Britain and shortly thereafter, here. Everywhere you go your progress will be recorded, as is already done with car tag readers, and the cards and money in your wallet will be recorded along with your gun, ammo, pocket knife, and anything else.
The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides, “[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly ...

And you will be requested to carry your SS card at all times.
I see, so it in no way amounts to an illegal search, how will this be different from when police used FLIR to identify homes with marijuana operations and the courts threw the case out?
Several years ago a young teenager demonstrated a device he invented that could read the new currency in a pocket from 10 feet away. He did it because the Treasury said it couldn’t be done a few days before. The technology for that is much more advanced now. I carry my credit card in a RFID protecting cover. Airports are rife with scammers deploying remote card readers.
Time to drag out the tin-foil..........condom. Give’em a thrill.
I doubt it could detect the type of IED I carry at times. Intra Esophagus Device, AKA Bean Burrito. While it can be detected at ranges of over 3 meters indoors, pinpointing the source is difficult.
“I predict a well selling brand of clothing that reflects all radar...”
Or, better still, does not send a return or scatters the return. A grapheme cloth pocket holster, for example.
Stealth-ware.
Stealth-stuming (like costuming).

you could just wear this and make libtards wet themselves.
Thanks for posting that. I didn't know those existed.
I learn so much on FR. ;-)
And FedGov could care less.
The sooner they can get this technology, the sooner they think they can take away all of our guns. They don't give a crap about rights or any outdated (to them) Constitution. If they thought they could put us all in camps and feed us to the gas chamber, they would do it today.
