The New York City Police Department, (NYPD) one of the leaders in the destruction of individual rights, along with the feds, are testing a new technology in a scanner that is placed on the vehicles of police, and can detect concealed weapons on individuals.
This is just another warrantless search opportunity that violates the Fourth Amendment, but more importantly violates our natural rights. This is being done by not only the police, but also by the Department of Defense. Considering that the feds now have the power to militarily detain indefinitely any American, this due to the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, this is just another invasive tool for the state gendarmes.
This new technology is called Terahertz Imaging Detection, and it measures energy radiating from a body up to sixteen feet away. Many of the citizen sheep will approve of this assault on privacy in the name of safety, because of course, if you have nothing to hide, you should not object. That thinking is absurd, and simply exposes the naivete of the average American.
There seems to be a constant barrage of new technology, most of it subsidized by the lowly taxpayer, that is meant to invade the privacy of the individual, or physically harm them. Rarely does the populace object, and in many instances, they actually embrace the idea. This is pathetic behavior, and it has no place in a free society!
