Ministry of Homeland Security Developing X-Ray Snoop Device

It’s not enough they vacuum up your phone calls and emails, they know your medical history and financial transactions, now they want to look through your walls, right into the most private aspects of your life conducted behind closed doors.

“The lobster is at the forefront of the next new weapon in the war on terror: a handheld device that could help Homeland Security agents see through wood, concrete and steel,” reports Fox News. “Technology based on the crustacean’s uncanny ability to see through dark, cloudy, deep sea water is guiding scientists funded by the government in the early stages of developing a ray that one day could be used by border agents, airport screeners and the Coast Guard.”

Of course, it will be used as well to snoop people deemed a political threat by the government, as government is more concerned with the opposition than imaginary terrorists sneaking in the country by way of a port container. Border agents will not need such a device because it is their job to turn their backs while millions of illegals stream across the border.

David Throckmorton, a project manager in Homeland Security’s Science and Technology division, says a California company has developed a handheld prototype called the LEXID (Lobster Eye X-ray Imaging Device) that can see through walls.

The image, shown on a small screen, isn’t “high-definition TV quality,” Throckmorton says. But it’s good enough to pick up a cache of weapons or the parts for a bomb. It can also show a border agent if a person is crouched on the other side of a steel or concrete wall.

It might also be used to find weapons entirely legal under the Bill of Rights. If the drift of Congress is any indication — and possibly soon enough the drift of the Supreme Court — what is completely legal today may become illegal and thus subject to confiscation tomorrow. It is not too far out to imagine a Ministry sub-contracted thug from Blackwater with one of these soon-to-be perfected and manufactured devices scanning your home looking for the family shotgun. If you doubt this can happen, remember “deputized” Blackwater goons going door-to-door in New Orleans seizing entirely legal firearms.

There’s no estimate yet on how much each device would cost, but [Rick Shie, senior vice president at Physical Optics Corporation] says they hope to make it inexpensively enough so that it could have wide commercial appeal, including to pest control companies and contractors who need to look inside walls for rats or pipes.

And don’t forget the rats who oppose the neocons. Or for that matter their successors, be it Hillary or some other version of neolib dedicated to turn this country into a gulag same as the neocons.

But don’t worry — cost is no object, as the Ministry has already spent billions to destroy our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Instead of calling this thing a “Lobster Eye X-ray Imaging Device,” we should call it a “Fourth Amendment Destruction Device,” as it seriously compromises our right to be secure in our persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.

    You’re so right, Kurt; and these “s(ick)ophants”, or “(p)syc(h)ophants”, of tyrants and traitors are so wrong! That’s privacy spelled out right there in the Fourth Amendment, though the word “privacy” isn’t used in the Constitution, and it does have to use the actual word. If we have, or had, a right “….to be secure in (our) person, houses (all places we live), papers, and effects, against UNREASONABLE [which presuming us guilty, violating our privacy and looking at us and what we’re doing, and/or what we possess in the way of “effects”, IS (MOST DEFINITELY AND BLATANTLY UNREASONABLE)] searches and seizures….”, that is a description of the right to privacy to a capital ‘P’! And their having and using stuff like this on people who are ALL supposed to be presumed “innocent until PROVEN (’beyond a reasonable doubt’) guilty in a court of law (by a jury of their peers)” is a violation of the Fourth Amendment AND OF PRIVACY!

    But, like the good little complicit Machiavellian sycophants they are, the ends supposedly justify the means of violating privacy. Sickos!

    science fiction often mirrors or proceeds reality. see the movie deja vue with I think it was dezel washington. they show satelite technology that looks through walls that can watch people in the privacy of their own homes. they didn’t need cameras in the house, they could go back and watch a person’s life play out with heat sensing, see thru walls technology.

    They’ve been doing similar atrocities for years. Cameras in targeted peoples’ homes, so that when exiting their home to visit their postal box (for example, after having sent off an anti-Government-crime letter in the recent past), a police helicopter can be conveniently waiting, to hover overhead. I have had the experience while residing in Las Vegas. And then there’s thermal imaging, performed from those helicopters which, I have noticed, tend to fly around just about bedtime - so they know who’s wearing pajamas and who is not. They should have been hovering around a Friday night two weeks ago at 3 A.M. when I took an early walk around our neighbourhood. An SUV was rocking back and forth, and as I got closer, there were the unmistakable voices of an adult man and a young girl about seven years of age or so. She sounded…well, somewhat aggrieved. What the hell is the world coming to?

    Hey Philip, my question is the following: Did you kick that pervert’s ass??? I would have beat the living crap out of him!!!

  8. Jason the just on December 22nd, 2007

    This is enough talk. Action must be taken againsed the agressor. Evil prevails when good men do nothing.

    The problem I see, especially if Fox News is reporting it, this device probably already exists. This specific handheld device is what is new.

  10. terry kurtz on December 22nd, 2007

    am in las vegas and in a place that just popup was this high security building at main and gas ave. were there no signs of bussiness but cameras

    These devices have been around for ages. When they first started studying the properties of electromagnetic wavelengths they would have discovered that certain wavelengths travel straight through walls and even metals like steel and still reflect off other objects and people, since they consist of different materials. One of the first things that would have been done once scientists discovered electromagnetic (i.e, radio) waves and were capable of creating their own would be to study their properties. As soon as they did this they would have known that they could create such devices. People have been lied to for decades about their existance. What’s worse is that it’s not just the enemy within the world’s governments that’s using these devices, it’s criminal syndicates that are now using them to achieve their objectives.

    Incredible. Just incredible.The goverment has been violating our Constitutional Rights for decades.The last WAR for instance was WW2.Yet we have slaughtered millions thru Politcal Actions.Not all the Brass is happy about our Political Police actions.Run by politicians. In the long run I think most in the Military love our founding documents. Look how political wars have turned out. Korea,a horrible tie at best. Vietnam. Got our clocks cleaned because Congress did not Declare War and let the Military run it. The Politicans did. And mucked it up. I think the Dutch politicians, handed it to the French politicians, who handed it to the British politicians, for a moment. Who handed it to our politicians who handed it to the CIA. Who handed it to the US Military. That did not want it.They were clear on that.But they got it.Grenada, Nicaragu,to small to count. Gulf 2,Afganistan No Congressional Declaration of War. Again, political wars,that the Military did not want.All of them unconstituional. This past March, Congress again,passed thier Constitutional Powers to Declare War over to the Prez for Iran.
    So why be suprised that the goverment will violate the 4TH Amendment without a whimper from Congress.
    Politicians thru thier proxies, torture,or directly let International Treaties to be broken and allow Bush slide on the Geneva Conventions.

    The People are not the enemies of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

    For some reason the Trustees of our Constitution, many politicians see the people, the benificiaries of it, as the enemy. Not Blackwater, not Illegals, not the Federal Reserve.Thats why they want to see unconstitutionally what we do in our Constitutionally protected homes.Our Trustees of the Constitution see the Benificiaries, the People, as the enemy.
    Soon the Battle Cry will be NO INCUMBANTS AT ELECTION TIME.
    Anyone for some upside down cake?

    10 bucks says this device will be harmful (as in radiation sickness) to the people inside the house. I’m sure that won’t stop them using it though.

  14. StableMinded on December 22nd, 2007

    I agree with this news article, but the quotes that come after it are from crazy f–ks. This is entirely the reason why people think that people who write these articles are crazy, foil hat wearing jack-offs. ‘YOU ARE SO RIGGGGHT!!! I HAVE BLACK HELICOPTERS FOLLOWING ME AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING MY NEIGHBOR WHO WAS SCREWING A 7 YEAR OLD!!!” Lay off the crack and stop being a retard! Grow up and instead of whining about things, do something about them, just please don’t act like a dumbass because then you will just kill the momentum that the author built up. DUH!

    X-ray cameras, yet another infringement on our rights by the gov’t. Add it to the ever-growing list of violations:
    They violate the 1st Amendment by opening mail, caging demonstrators and banning books like “America Deceived” from Amazon.
    They violate the 2nd Amendment by confiscating guns during Katrina.
    They violate the 4th Amendment by conducting warrant-less wiretaps.
    They violate the 5th and 6th Amendment by suspending habeas corpus.
    They violate the 8th Amendment by torturing.
    They violate the entire Constitution by starting 2 illegal wars based on lies and on behalf of a foriegn gov’t.
    Support Dr. Ron Paul and save this country.

    Can you tell my why you’re using the word ‘Ministry’ instead of ‘Department’? Did they change it? At first I thought I was going to an Australian site…thanks melshae@hotmail.com

    I’ve often wondered if that’s why they suddenly decided to get rid of lead based paint. A lot of us grew up with it and are fine. Does it mess up their spying plans?
