BBC's The Prying Game

A report on BBC news 24's Our World series, repeated tonight at 21:30, looks uncritically at Britains surveillance society. The most interesting thing about the report is the admission of a hand-held wave-millimetre scanner than can see through the walls of a house.
A British police constable shown this technology in the report pretends never to have heard of such a device but says how usefuul it would be.
Such a device has already been reported on Indymedia, as well as credible reports that fixed millimetre wave systems are being rolled ut throughout the country. A police manager took the time to rubbish the previous IM report. The fact that a police manager reads IM and thought rubbishing the report would be reassuring that we aren't living in a surveillance society, thus proving IM to be monitored, proves only that the police are thicker than we are. Perhaps if the same police manager, or his on-duty replacement, would care to comment now the BBC are claiming the same thing ?
