The X-ray army: Handheld military scanner 'sees' through fabric and metal - and can even be used to find plastic 3D-printed guns | Mail Online: "American Science and Engineering (AS&E) has revealed its portable X-ray detection system that can be used by security enforcement on the go.

Massachusetts-based AS&E have unveiled their Z Backscatter X-ray scanner called the Mini Z. It will retail for £30,000 ($50,000) and is apparently able to detect potential threats in locations other scanners cannot reach, such as airplane seats and in bags at events

Dubbed the Mini Z, the Massachusetts-based company said the handheld device can be used for fast, real-time detection of potential threats inside objects such as backpacks, tyres and more."
