Gun-Scanning Technology

In and by itself I have no real issue with this technology being used in a public place. Hey there are hundreds of cameras in Time Square and you are a fool if you think there is privacy there. And the NY Criminals Lover's Union is staffed with idiots, err lawyers who see no real issue with TSA groping children but for some reason they have issues with police surveillance in the public.


Mr Kelly, how about you concentrate on Middle Eastern males between the ages of 18-40? You know, the types of people who took down the World Trade Center Towers in 2001. Please don't tell me about profiling concerns because you really don't have them. Remember when the Time Square Bomber was at loose and HISONORDAMORON was asked by Katie Couric who the mayor though was responsible:

Let's just say I would like to know a few more details on what this technology can detect but I right now give it a qualified yes. You don't wanna be photographed in Time Square then don't go there.

Here is the article that came with it.

Home-grown, maybe a mentally deranged person or somebody with a political agenda that doesn't like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.

NYPD Testing Gun-Scanning Technology « CBS New York

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – The NYPD is stepping up their war against illegal guns, with a new tool that could detect weapons on someone as they walk down the street.

But is it violating your right to privacy?

Police, along with the U.S. Department of Defense, are researching new technology in a scanner placed on police vehicles that can detect concealed weapons.

“You could use it at a specific event. You could use it at a shooting-prone location,” NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly told CBS 2′s Hazel Sanchez on Tuesday.

It’s called Terahertz Imaging Detection. It measures the energy radiating from a body up to 16 feet away, and can detect anything blocking it, like a gun.

...Police Commissioner Kelly said the scanner would only be used in reasonably suspicious circumstances and could cut down on the number of stop-and-frisks on the street.
