Sorry Pervs, This is Legit...

A new camera has been developed that can 'see' through peoples' clothes from up to 80 feet away...James Bond be damned!!

The camera, or T5000, designed by UK-based company Thru Vision, was created for use in spacecraft and other astronomical endeavors (so that clear images could be produced even when taken through cosmic dust and other sediment), has attracted positive attention from law enforcement agencies and others for its ability to also penetrate clothing...and detect weapons, explosives, and drugs by detecting and measuring tetrahertz waves.

Sorry perverts - this handy dandy new contraption does not show specific anatomical properties of subjects scanned. Guess you will have to wait until some genius figures that one out.

The T5000 will be shown this week at the UK government's Home Office Scientific Development Branch exhibition, and will be one of the 3,000+ other security products displayed.
