The lightweight handheld unit uses high frequency microwaves to see through clothes and pick up "reflections" of concealed guns or knives from a distance of several metres. Intelligent software then interprets the images and only alerts officers to potential weapons - clearly distinguishing between everyday objects like keys and mobile phones. It is hoped the scanner will reduce the number of attacks on officers who will no longer need to perform a risky stop and search to detect weapons. (source: telegraph.co.uk)
