Tadar Takes Cue From Bats: X-Ray Vision Without the X-Rays!

Leave it to the European Space Agency to revolutionize the world with Space technology. For instance, the same Tadar imaging system used on ESA satellites for years has now been adapted for use in security.
Tadar is based on the high frequency, millimetre-wave system used by the Tadarida bat, (AKA: Mexican Free Tailed bat)native to Brazil. It has been adapted into a millimetre-wave camera, for use at security check-points. The new technology makes it possible to see right through clothing, visualizing metallic and non-metallic objects alike, making them easily recognizable. Nothing is invisible to Tadar. The sensor detects energy naturally emitted by or reflected by any object.

Isn't it simply amazing, the stuff they come up with? Who would have imagined there would be a way to see through people without irradiating them?
Apparently some people in Ireland did. Brilliant!
