I am fascinated by the technology, and can see a military application, yet the potential for something like that to be abused is tremendous.
It's getting pretty bad when you are sitting on the throne thinking your alone and a white cube van drives by...

This just pi$$es me off. Next they'll be scanning houses. How about homeless sleeping in their cars and their possessions trying to get back on their feet, no privacy at all. If this is change then I dont want it! Where's the aclu and all the other organisations to fight this abuse of privacy? States?

To be able to see through substantially thick metal the X rays must be quite strong - one wonders how many ordinary citizens will fall to cancers and other health problems in future if this is to be regularly deployed..

I had a job some years ago doing cargo inspections in a VACIS truck. The truck used gamma rays instead of xrays, and it was supposed to be safer. The pictures they took were really amazing. You could see every component of the vehicles engines, the frame, everything. If it is being used to scan vehicles enetering onto a military base or something like that, I have no problem with it, but random checkpoints on public roads? No thanks.
