An infrared scanner developed in Woburn, Mass. might replace the bully boys and girls (now wearing new, policeman-like uniforms) feeling around passengers’ bodies for explosives and drugs. The Iscon 1000 can detect slight temperature differences, and is safer, because it does not use X-rays.

ISCON
Iscon1000 scans for temperature differences on the body’s surface, or for temperature imbalances between the body, clothes and any hidden objects. Because all objects radiate heat and resist temperature change differently, Iscon1000’s image analysis technology is capable of detecting minute temperature differences of hidden objects regardless of the organic or inorganic nature of the substance.
