Camera sees through clothing

A new camera can see through clothing at security checkpoints. The camera doesn’t reveal details about the body. Its terahertz technology is passive—it only receives electromagnetic radiation. Humans give off the radiation. Metal and water block it. So it would be possible to see a concealed weapon.
