The NYPD is using X-ray vans that can see into cars and homes

• http://www.businessinsider.com, IB Times UK

The vehicles, known as Z Backscatter Vans, patrol the city streets and, while the NYPD is not disclosing what it is doing with them, it is understood they have the ability to see into the contents of cars or even inside homes as a counter-terrorism measure.

The X-ray vans have the technology to penetrate through the body of a vehicle as it drives past to see whether there are weapons, explosives or drugs inside — something often used by immigration patrols.

The same could potentially go for the walls of buildings and houses or even what you are keeping under your coat. The worry from members of the public is whether the X-ray vans are being used on people as a means to search for concealed weapons and, if so, what are the health and privacy implications.
