NYPD about to start x-raying the public for guns.

The NYPD will soon deploy new technology allowing police to detect guns carried by criminals without using the typical pat-down procedure, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Wednesday.

The department just received a machine that reads terahertz — the natural energy emitted by people and inanimate objects — and allows police to view concealed weapons from a distance...

No, it's a violation of our fourth amendment rights. They should need to have reasonable suspicion and / or a warrant.

    LOL @ warrant, they search you on reasonable suspicion anyways.

    Would you rather be stopped and frisked or scanned?

    If you have nothing on your person, then the scan wouldn't result in you being stopped and your time being wasted.

    If you are carrying legally, then you have nothing to worry about.

    Drones, scanners, chips etc..

    I'm for it all.

    "invasion of privacy" is the people fault, they run around like ? doing dumb ? , there isn't any order to what we do, so they gotta keep that ? in check.

    I approve, because I like the technology being used.

    Rather than "x-raying", this would be "t-raying". Other side of the spectrum.

    Not everybody who has a gun is a criminal, and states like NY make it damn near impossible for a civilian to get a gun license.

    That aside, how is this not a violation of the 4th amendment ?

    NYPD just don't give a ? . I think they're using recent events as an excuse.
