Okay. Gotta admit. I've never heard of this one.

Wee, yet one more way for our government to spy on us. I've heard about these before though and yet it still pisses me off.

 

One can hope that these vans are easily spotted.

 

I will say that in some states, this will not fly as it is an illegal search if it's against ordinary passenger vehicles.

maybe instead of using this on US streets they could put one of these at every major cross road from mexico...

I'm pretty sure I saw this in D.C. last year when I was there for the weekend, except it was black, had tinted windows all around, and was driving even slower than the van in the video.

 

This is destroying our rights, gov't spying, etc, blah blah, but it is really cool technology.

I found the reference to "Project Camden" in the FOIA document interesting.

I'd have a fit if I was scanned without my consent. There is no "safe" level of radiation exposure, and I want to be able to chose whether or not I am exposed such as flying in a plane or getting a medical xray.

 

The Gooberment likes to throw out how safe this tech is, and compares it to dose examples like flying or getting a medical xray. The real truth is this is not accurate. There are so many factors in determining exposure such as length of time, type of radiation, areas of the body exposed, etc. For instance , getting 15 minutes worth equivalent dosage of traveling at 35K feet in just a few seconds may be a higher risk. The risk is cancer of course, as every time ionizing radiation damages a cell's genetic material, there is a chance it could turn into cancer.
