"The same technology, capable of seeing through clothes and walls, has
also been rolling out on U.S. streets.

American Science & Engineering, a company based in Billerica,
Massachusetts, has sold U.S. and foreign government agencies more than
500 backscatter x-ray scanners mounted in vans that can be driven past
neighboring vehicles to see their contents, Joe Reiss, a vice president
of marketing at the company told me in an interview. While the biggest
buyer of AS&E’s machines over the last seven years has been the
Department of Defense operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, Reiss says law
enforcement agencies have also deployed the vans to search for
vehicle-based bombs in the U.S.



I thought thermal scanners looking for pot were rejected on 4th Amendment grounds?
