Spudders Posted 19 December, 2010 Share Posted 19 December, 2010 Interesting stuff. I've seen wallets advertised on firebox.com that protect from these scanners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deppo Posted 19 December, 2010 Share Posted 19 December, 2010 Scary stuff. I read a report in the paper the other day that said that, by 2013, sex offenders will be able to electronically rape people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamster Posted 19 December, 2010 Share Posted 19 December, 2010 Interesting stuff. I've seen wallets advertised on firebox.com that protect from these scanners.
