More Snow Crash ideas made real
This millimeter wavelength radar article at Cnet talks about a technology I first saw mentioned in Snow Crash. The department of homeland security is using the technology to spy on pretty girls make the homeland safer by detecting non-metallic weapons at checkpoints. It this affront to privacy worth what we gain in safety? Maybe, but despite having heard about ceramic guns years ago (was it in Die Hard?) I've never heard about a single crime being committed with one.
