Government to Secretively Scan You for Traces of Drugs, Guns, & Explosives from 164 Feet Away

From smartphones to iPad’s — technology is great, as most of us use it throughout our day as a way of life in the year 2012.
However, now private security firms such as the Chertoff Group, Q-Tel, and other governmental agencies like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) see that it is in the general public’s best interest if they can secretively scan the populace while raking in vast financial gains to boot.
Within the next few years DHS plans to scan you secretively from various locations including at airports with laser-based molecular scanners from distances of up to 164 feet away.
In fact, the machine is so advanced that it can sense traces of drugs, weapons, explosives, and even your adrenaline level, without ever touching you — delivering the information directly to agents through an interface.
In 2011 Genia Photonics Inc.was contracted out by Q-Tel as outlined by PRWeb in a press release entitled “Genia Photonics Inc. announces a strategic partnership and technology development with In-Q-Tel”.
An excerpt reads;
This strategic partnership between Genia Photonics and IQT will promote Genia’s fiber-based laser technology development to a higher level and provide new opportunities for Genia’s product applications. “Genia Photonics’ mission is to provide solutions that benefit society and improve quality of life,” said Dr. François Gonthier, CEO of Genia Photonics. “Our partnership with IQT will create new opportunities for leveraging Genia’s versatile and multifunctional fiber-based technologies into related applications.”
In addition to the value for the defense and security communities, Genia Photonics’ Synchronized Programmable Laser platform has applications such as non-linear spectroscopy for the biomedical and industrial communities. An important benefit of Genia Photonics’ implementation as compared to existing solutions is that the entire synchronized laser system is comprised in a single, robust and alignment-free unit that may be easily transported for use in many environments.
“Our synchronized programmable laser is the best solution for applications in the biomedical, industrial and defense and security communities due to its versatility and its multifunctionality,” said Dr. Alain Villeneuve, CTO of Genia Photonics. “This compact and robust laser has the ability to rapidy sweep wavelengths in any pattern and sequence.”
The technical aspects of the laser are amazing. However, sometimes technology can be to overbearing on human rights and privacy issues to the point where the benefits no longer outweigh the problems.
An excerpt from Gizmodo.com reads;
The machine is a mobile, rack-mountable system. It fires a laser to provide molecular-level feedback at distances of up to 50 meters in just picoseconds. For all intents and purposes, that means instantly.
The small, inconspicuous machine is attached to a computer running a program that will show the information in real time, from trace amounts of cocaine on your dollar bills to gunpowder residue on your shoes. Forget trying to sneak a bottle of water past security—they will be able to tell what you had for breakfast in an instant while you’re walking down the hallway.
The technology is not new, it’s just millions times faster and more convenient than ever before. Back in 2008, a team at George Washington University developed a similar laser spectrometer using a different process. It could sense drug metabolites in urine in less than a second, trace amounts of explosive residue on a dollar bill, and even certain chemical changes happening in a plant leaf.
And the Russians also have a similar technology: announced last April, their “laser sensor can pick up on a single molecule in a million from up to 50 meters away.”
So if Genia Photonics’ claims pan out, this will be an incredible leap forward in terms of speed, portability, and convenience. One with staggering implications.
This is the next phase of the tyrannical police state planned for us in America, encompassed by terror rhetoric.

They could call it the “Play God Particle Finder”.
All this in what they are telling you is “The most free nation on earth”………..YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
Our America society has been lied to by their government and lawyers more times than you will sign your name in your lifetime, and we have been indoctrinated “brainwashed” to believe that the Constitution was created for “We the People.” The purpose behind these lies is to make you believe that you are free, safe, protected and secure, and it is all an hallucination! How many of you have studied each line of the Constitution; the Statutes at Large and the Articles of Confederation, armed with a reputable dictionary or a law dictionary from that era?

Some one please start making, Line protective reflective clothing.
Or do i have to make it myself?
this is old us army, crdec tech from the late 80′s, the xm21 ircbad improved and smaller… Silver, Carbon then and now Copper lined ‘scent block’ hunter clothing will give this type of sys a run for its money at first, but in time… Maybe one day the Constitution of this Republic will be restored to its former greatness and such tech will again be restricted to fighting the true enemies of our country on foreign battlefields and not used on the unsuspecting American citizen walking down the street holding his/her childs hand on the way to church… One day…
Vote against Obama, elect Romney President in 2012 and in the two years that follow Romney’s election help get Libertarian candidates elected to local, state and federal offices in 2014. If the Libertarian party and its fiscal policies can get a solid foothold after Romney’s election in the political process, this country can start its slow climb out of Democrat/Republican induced debt and begin to look, sound and feel like the freedom loving country our parents and grandparents spoke about. during the height of the cold war with soviet russia, how many times a month were you stopped on the highway and asked for papers?
or we can re-elect Obama and watch this country spiral down into a collapsed socio/ecomomic/race based civil war by 2014…
already planned is a DoD response to the expected Obama election loss with widespread ‘civil unrest response training’ taking place around the nation. regular army and state national guard units are training to maintain order in the face of expected ows/acorn/wto/sds/uk style riots and civil unrest around the country in large cities where gun control laws have disarmed the regular citizen already. obama will declare a national state of emergency that will disallow all gun owners from leaving thier homes or property armed for SELF DEFENSE in piblic.
This is getting worse then Orwell
First, USA, Inc. Now, Earth, Inc. It’s all a very big show. The “laws” are b.s.
It would be nice if Chertoff and all like him choked on a pork bone.
For Objective…They don’t eat pork!
Because technology like this NEVER malfunctions or can EVER be manipulated to abuse whoever they want. The minute someone tries to detain me because something a laser told them, I’ll punch them right in the throat. At least they’ll have an actual reason to detain me at that point.
Then maybe it’s time to level the playing field by removing these substances from the criminal listing.
If I am legally licensed to carry a handgun, what business is it of the Government using such a scanner on me? If I walked by someone in the park who was smoking cannabis, would the apparatus identify me as a pot user because traces of the smoke wafted on to my shirt? Could the system tell if I had just drank a beer? If so, how long since I did so would it indicate that I had done so? If it did, imagine it being used to check for alcohol or drug use at a traffic intersection or a place where people have to momentarily stop, like a stair well or escalator. George Orwell, who wrote the perhaps coming police state tragedy “1984″-would he have added this technology to his story if he could have imagined it?
Folks there is a problem here> Some jerks are going to salt the roads, walkways, lobbies with gun powder and drug residues and the fed’s lazer toys are going to go crazy. If this happens at peak airport flight schedules me thinks a financial crisis is going overtake the poor air carriers. Way to go feds, fu_ked things up again. People will find ways to defeat technology. Can anyone say, “Viet Cong or Taliban?”
