Body scanners finding plenty of creative uses in U.S.

Though US airports have some x-ray scanner machines (40%) and some of these microwave machines, these going in stores are of the microwave sort.

Then within the microwave sorts there are:

Active - those that send microwaves at you to read the reflections.
Passive - those that don't send microwaves but just take a picture of the microwaves that are coming from you or background microwaves reflecting from you. This sort doesn't add any radiation to what you normally get.

The microwaves used aren't like those of a cell phone or even radar - they are way at the high end of radio waves - almost where infrared light starts.


Would be pretty cool if it meant they'd whip up some custom clothes that fit right - your right shoe is a 10 7/8 EE your left is a 10 3/4 EEE. But I doubt it they will just say shirt is 47 chest 18 neck 33 sleeve - pants 34 waist 32 inseam and then you'll get to the rack and the clothes will still be sized S M L XL.
