US:Scientists developing 'X-ray vision'

X-ray vision, a comic book fantasy for decades, is becoming a reality in a US lab.

A group of researchers led by Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Dina Katabi has developed software that uses variations in radio signals to recognize human silhouettes through walls and track their movements.

Researchers say the technology will be able to help health care providers and families keep closer tabs on toddlers and the elderly, and it could be a new strategic tool for law enforcement and the military.

"Think of it just like cameras, except that it's not a camera," said Fadel Adib, a researcher on the MIT team developing the device.

To defeat the system, since it uses WiFi, you simply need to turn off your wireless router and/or shield your walls against 2.5 and 5 gHz EM radiation. usconservative will know something about how.

My next home, probably in Texas, is going to be made of 9 foot thick lead walls, surrounded by one giant faraday cage.

I'll be protected from EMP's and 2.4 - 5.x Ghz EM Radiation. Good luck the rest of y'all!
