T-rays are known to be more revealing than the well-known X-rays. T-rays are also known to be less harmful. If we could detect any means of bombs, or hidden weapons, or perfectly clarly through anything opaque. These rays use  both microwave radiation and infrared-heat radiation, but are not harmful at all. In the X-ray process, powerful  photons from observable or near-infrared laser beams are used to “probe semiconductors, knocking electrons out of the atoms.” T-rays however, are not strong enough to “knock out” the electrons. By little modifications in the applied magnetic field or temperature scientists are able to make plasma waves strengthen or cancel each other.”This is as if instead of throwing a stone into a tank of water, which would create a lot of splashes, we gently vibrate one wall of the tank, sending a sound wave through the body of water and ripples over its surface,” Belyanin explains

Scientists are already able to see through things like clothes and skin and bodies, but T-rays are able to see through dry, opaque materials. This means the options are endless in the possibilities of security. T-ray cameras could have protected Americans on the flight to Detroit on Christmas Day, 2009. Personally, I wouldn’t mind having to do a full body scan to ensure safety on an airplane, and others shouldn’t either (The screen is featured in a different room and pixilated for indistinguishing features.) T-rays can also be used to scan envelopes and packages, preventing illegal substances such as anthrax from being mailed. I think it’s pretty great, why take the risk as to not use these new scanning technologies, right? :]
