A Las Vegas Resort Using Microwaves to Keep Guns Out

There was a study from Johns Hopkins equating a millimeter wave scan to the amount of radiation received in a bad sunburn. Backscatter X-ray is worse than millimeter wave and if the transmitter is further away they’d necessarily have to increase the power.

I’m not sure I’d ever willingly enter a place known to be using that technology.

Unfortunately there are unmarked trucks with backscatter X-ray scanners inside them in major cities around the world, as well as fixed backscatter X-ray scanners in many places outside of airports.

If you want to know what the trucks look like, google "ZBV": https://www.google.com/search?q=ZBV&tbm=isch
