Tuning Into the 60GHz Spectrum Jul 25, 2009
Button says this means customers can use Vubiq's chips to provide wireless backhaul in the millimeter wave in addition to the microwave bands an imperative as wireless companies move to higher bandwidth technologies, such as Long Term Evolution. Using wireless may be cheaper than laying fiber to the cell towers in most cases. (BusinessWeek)
House Curbs Airport "E-Strip Searches" Jun 6, 2009
TSA that it's currently using millimeter wave technology at 19 U.S. airports, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, and Washington Reagan National. During the Computers, Freedom and Privacy on Tuesday in Washington, D.C., Peter Pietra, the TSA's director for privacy policy and compliance, defended full-body scanning technology. (CBS News)
Airport security bares all, or does it? May 20, 2009
Using millimeter wave technology, which the TSA says emits 10,000 times less radio frequency than a cell phone, the machine scans a traveler and a robotic image is generated that allows security personnel to detect potential threats -- and, some fear, more -- beneath a person's clothes ... Lee of TSA emphasized that the images Coney refers to do not represent millimeter wave technology but rather "backscatter" technology, which she said TSA is not using at this time. (CNN)

Full-body scanners coming soon to Palm Beach International Airport? Apr 30, 2009
Forty of the so-called millimeter wave machines have been installed at 19 airports across the country, Koshetz said. In Florida, they are used at Miami, Jacksonville and Tampa international airports. (The Palm Beach Post)
Millivision security system finds hidden objects without showing hidden body Apr 28, 2009
Those systems, being tested at six airports, use a technology known as active millimeter wave screening ... Millivision uses passive millimeter wave screening, which allows it to detect ceramics, metals, plastics, and liquids without rendering an image of a naked body ... In addition, Millivision is in talks with European air transportation regulatory agencies, which stopped installing the active millimeter wave screening systems because of the privacy concerns.

Raytheon vs. Pirates Apr 15, 2009
Raytheon's Silent Guardian Active Denial System (ADS) uses millimeter wave technology -- basically, it's like a big microwave oven with a "shootin' end" -- to excite water molecules in the surface layers of the skin of its targets. The effect has been described as creating the sensation of "a [lit] light bulb being pressed against the skin." However, the weapon is nonlethal because its radiation cannot penetrate deeply enough into the human body to cause lasting injury. (MSNBC -- Business)

Border Patrol uses see-through scanning Mar 20, 2009
Instead, another device, a "millimeter wave" machine, which began testing late in 2007 is now being used, still on a pilot basis, in about 20 airports around the country, Melendez said. People who support using such scanners insist that they will ease detection of concealed objects like plastic weapons or liquids that traditional metal detectors miss.
