Air travel in a post-9/11 world usually means long waits and longer security lines — and more recently, it also includes the somewhat creepy prospect of passing through whole-body scanning machines that see beneath your clothing. Now the same company that created controversial whole-body scanners for a federal courthouse in Florida is promoting an alternative. AllClear, a Star Trek-style wand, detects metallic and non-metallic objects without capturing images and without body contact, according to Brijot, a Florida-based imaging systems manufacturer. “While I can’t disagree with the idea of using security screening to make our airways safer, I knew that there had to be a better way than taking naked pictures of people or patting them down like common criminals,” said Brijot CEO Mitchel Laskey. “That’s why we developed the AllClear.” The battery-powered device uses passive millimeter wave technology that’s radiation free and provides a high level of detection, the company says. www.brijot.comFor more product news, log on to Government Technology’s Product Source at www.govtech.com/products
