SUGGESTED LEAD IN :
Would-be smugglers and terrorists take note, you soon may be caught out by the latest in airport technology.
Almost nothing can be hidden from the Millimetre Wave scanner, which can see through your clothes to detect concealed items.
The technology is being pioneered at QinetiQ, formerly part of the research arm of the British defence ministry.
VOICE OVER:
Since the terror attacks in New York on September 11, 2001, the airline industry has been looking at methods to improve passenger security checks.
Now a British company has unveiled a scanner which can see through clothes to determine if anything is concealed on the body.
Subjects are asked to step into the alcove space, raise their arms and rotate.
The specially developed camera equipment scans their bodies.
Security personnel can monitor a visual display in real time for any concealed objects.
Thus thwarting the intentions of potential hijackers or suicide bombers.
The Millimetre Wave Scanner works by emitting a harmless high frequency wave which penetrates clothing and reflects the signals from the body.
The instruments decode the energy and turn it into a visible picture.
Here a concealed compact disc appears as a white light.
SOUNDBITE (English) Dr Kevin Murphy, Product Manager, Qinetiq
"Well this is a whole new revolutionary approach to screening people. Its all about getting a body picture which shows items which are concealed on the body, so the operators of the equipment can see directly what's concealed on the body, rather than inferring from a green light, red light or a beep that there may be something there or not."
Millimetre light sits on the light spectrum between infra red and X-ray wave lengths.
It can penetrate less dense material such as clothing, but reflects light back from denser objects such as metals or plastics.
SOUNDBITE (English) Dr Kevin Murphy, Product Manager, Qinetiq
"The technology allows us to determine whether people have got guns, knives, bombs, whatever it might be, concealed on their persons. Because the energy is invisible as far as clothing is concerned, we can see straight through clothing, and look for weapons positioned in pockets or underneath your clothing."
In an era dominated by fear of terrorist attacks, governments and airlines across the world are searching for working solutions to increase security.
