Detecting a Suicide Bomber

A Virginia-based company is creating a system that detects suicide-bomber suspects from a safe distance. The CounterBomber system shoots low-power radar beams at a suspect bomber. It is even able to track the suspect as he walks. Future versions of the system will have "gait recognition" software. This software will be able to analyze anomalies in a person's gait to see if he is carrying a heavy object or putting something on the ground.
