ripperdoc's clinic

A schizofrenic braindump, a stream of cyberpunk, post-cyberpunk, neopunk, futurism and sci-fi items, inspiration for my writing and game design. Usually managed by my trusty auto-posting AI residing in a possum-brain in my kitchen sink.

Go ahead and inject into my brainfeed via Twitter or Tumblr submit. Aslo, go ahead and challenge my AI with a question (warning, it bites).

The technology is Backscatter X-ray and an alternative but similar technology is Millimeter wave. Both enable people to look through thin layers, such as clothing, car walls, glass, etc. Install this in your neighbourhood sentry gun and they will automatically perforate any assailant carrying a gun - visible or not! More on the topic from Forbes.
