New system would see through clothing to suicide vests, belts
Thursday, July 15, 2004
TEL AVIV – Israel's largest non-government-owned defense firm has been developing a system to detect concealed weapons and explosives as part of a project to combat Palestinian suicide bombers.
Elbit Systems has been developing what has been described as a remote detection system meant to expose suicide vests and firearms. The system, developed by Elbit Systems's subsidiary El-Op Electro-Optics, would allow the operator to detect concealed weapons and explosives under the clothes of an operative from what executives termed a safe distance.
Executives said the development project has not been completed, Middle East Newsline reported. They did not provide a date. "There is a system that can see through clothes for firearms and explosives," Gabriel Sarusi, El-Op's chief scientist, told the Miltech-2004 conference. "El-Op is developing this." ....The system produced an x-ray type image that showed the scanned individual without clothes but wearing a firearm and suicide belt.........

Assorted Press Editor on Field Assignment With New Anti-terrorism X-ray Machine
Special from the Assorted Press - developing.
July 15, 2004 (TAP) Assorted Press executive editor, Fritz Hartmann, has personally taken to the field to test the efficiency of the new Israeli hand held anti-terrorism x-ray machine. Preliminary reports and photographs faxed in indicate that the machine still needs some fine tuning to penetrate undergarments.
Assorted Press owner and publisher, Frau Hartmann says, "Fritz better get his own ass back to the office ASAP."
