Can high-tech infrared cameras and millimeter-wave cameras “see” terrorist threats coming from as far as 130 yards away?
Kennewick police and Hanford Patrol officers will test the effectiveness of the high-tech gear in a six-week tryout at the Toyota Center.
The experiment, which goes live Sept. 26 for six home games of the Tri-City Americans, will help the Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate determine if the technologies are effective in the hands of local law enforcement.

The equipment, which consists of remote camera sensors that can track crowd movements, uses infrared and millimeter-wave radar to analyze images for potential explosive threats, said Jim Tuttle, explosives division director for Homeland Security.
“(The test) will help us improve standoff screening capability for our security systems,” Tuttle said.
A series of cameras, some roof-mounted at the Toyota Center, and others that include infrared and millimeter-wave radar imaging, will watch the parking lots and various pedestrian approaches to the center.

When the American people revolt, which is their right…and duty to do according to TJefferson, then the American government…the enemy of the American people, will supress that revolt with all the technology they’ve developed for the terrorists…and will label you terrorist, too. And it will be merciless.

RESULTS basis..we..MUST..make the use of this “technology” SO costly that it is…a BURDEN to the FEDERAL LOYALISTS, THE LOCAL FUSION CENTER MIND WASHED THUG-COPS…(cops that have given up the HONOR of their WORD and abandoned their OATH to defend the STATE AND FEDERAL CONSTITUTION…aka the “rights’ of we the citizens to NOT be “SUBJECTS’…aka ANY “police officer” that is GLEEFULLY enjoying the ROUNDING UP of JOURNALISTS and the PENNING IN of PROTESTORS..or the MINDLESS HARRASSMENT OF ANY CITIZEN PRACTICING THEIR RIGHTS AS OUTLINED IN THE CONSTITUTIONS..those are the tue ENEMIES of liberty..and their “EQUIPMENT” is a VIABLE..and RIGHTOUS “TARGET OF OPPORTUNITY”..period..after all..it is..”OUR EQUIPMENT” since WE..well..NOT ME…but YOU..most likely..PAID FOR IT…how come that little fact is so often ignored???? WHO “owns” this “technology” the person who PAID for it? or the person USING it…seems to me to be along the lines of your neighbor borrowing your tools…he does not OWn them..YOU do…he is just BORROWING them..so you can do to them what you like..EVEN if they are in HIS GARAGE at the time..seeing as he does not intedn to give them back…you dig?
