body scanners from Total Recall are now a thing

The Los Angeles subway is installing the body scanners from Total Recall (the good 1990 version, not the garbage 2012 remake.)

The machines scan for metallic and non-metallic objects on a person’s body, can detect suspicious items from 30 feet (9 meters) away and have the capability of scanning more than 2,000 passengers per hour…

In addition to the Thruvision scanners, the agency is also planning to purchase other body scanners — which resemble white television cameras on tripods — that have the ability to move around and hone in on specific people and angles, Wiggins said.
