MAGNETIC IMAGING

BODY SCANNER

The scanners are almost the same as the magnetic image, but cost a little less and give two dimensional images of the body. The system is using low level of X-Rays; the beam reflecting off the body is then detected digitized, and stored. The data is used to create the image of the body and object

swabbing of hands

Swabbing is hand held trace detectors that trace the hands of people to see if they have been drugs or explosives: To indicate this they use a machine to read the scan thoughts.

puffer machine

Puffer machines: arranged 160,000 to purchase, this machine would blow air on the passengers and blows out particles of explosive from the body, hair, clothing and shoes of the traveler if anything was founded it was sent through a process called Ion mobility spectrometer ( IMS). Which the process measures the weight of molecules from the body look for the substances of drug and explosives. Today, the puffer is only used in 18 U.S. Airport, due to the debt the government states there are constantly breaking down and tightly to monitor.

used to check for traces of explosives or chemical on travelers hands that hve been swabbed.

bag checking machine

Magnetometer cost anywhere from $10 to $1500. They may cost less but have to have more staff to run; which will cost the same as having body imagers. The down fall of the magnetometers cannot detect ceramic or plastic weapons.

HAI Wireless Driveway Sensor/ Iris Scanning

Eye Scanning Improves Security While Minimizing Inconvenience to Travelers

The iris scanning system improves security while minimizing inconvenience to travelers. The system uses the iris as a way of recognizing people who use it. This system is mostly used in the UK. Their are only a select few airports within the United States that use this system with talk of more on the way. The system takes a picture of the eye and analyzes its variations then saves it within the database in a file about 512 bytes. A person coming up to the system would simply look into the device and within seconds the system will recognize that person based on the features of their iris which is unique in every eye using a monochrome camera. The system takes into consideration normal changes that occur. They have tested the system with contacts that have irides printed on them and the system easily detected that they were fake. This iris recognition system can be used for many other applications besides checking people at the airports. They have buildings that require the iris scan, a bank in England uses the iris system instead of a pin at the ATM. This technology could become more widespread in the years to come.

Debut of Wireless Driveway Sensor

The driveway sensor is a sensor that can detect metal objects that are moving by it. It can be linked to the lighting system so the flood lights will come on when a car is entering the driveway. It could also be linked to a surveillance system so the video will start recording once a vehicle passes it. There are no wires that have to be dug into the ground back to the system or anything. It can be mounted on the wall or on a stake in the ground. They are not too expensive with prices ranging from $150 to $240.

Finger Scanning in schools

No more worrying about your child’s lunch money getting stolen or them misplacing a library card, or forgetting a 9 digit student ID, which 80% likely to occur on an average school day. Technology security has taken it to the next level in safety for your children. A lot of schools have recently decided to use identiMetrics, the leader in biometric finger scanning. IdentiMetrics scans the finger of each student for their identification. This greatly speeds up the lunch line process. This system works flawlessly with children as young as four.

This form of technology security is cost-effective, efficient, quick and easy and most important, safe. It is the perfect, responsible solution for handling your money and identification. And get used to the idea, this idea is catching on!

This form of technology security enhances safety immensely. Finger scanning illuminates the long awaited lines, crowding, and chaos of a typical lunch room.

Texting While Driving

New technology can disable cell phones when a vehicle is moving, preventing texting or surfing the web.

ALABAMA - may soon be the 20th state to pass a no texting while driving law.

Drivers could face fines.
