NYPD to Begin Deploying Terahertz Scanners to Detect Carried Firearms
Earlier this year New York City's so-called "stop and frisk" policy, which involved police officers stopping random serfs and frisking them without evidence of wrongdoing, was ruled unconstitutional. Now that the ruling has had some time to sink in we can look at what has changed for those living in New York City. First a judge decided to lift the ban on "stop and frisk" making the ruling entirely irrelevant. In addition to being allowed to resume "stoping and frisking" the New York Police Department (NYPD) is also deploying terahertz scanners to detect if individuals are carrying firearms:
Get ready for scan-and-frisk.
The NYPD will soon deploy new technology allowing police to detect guns carried by criminals without using the typical pat-down procedure, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Wednesday.
The department just received a machine that reads terahertz — the natural energy emitted by people and inanimate objects — and allows police to view concealed weapons from a distance.
“If something is obstructing the flow of that radiation, for example a weapon, the device will highlight that object,” Kelly said.
A tip of the hat goes to Paul Blincow for e-mailing me this story.
I briefly discussed these scanners, and their health effects, last year. It seems that the NYPD was merely looking for an excuse, such as a court ruling against "stop and frisk," to justify the purchase and deployment of these potential DNA shredders. Of course it's all being done in the name of disarming the slaves safety.
