This is the most "getting high on your own supply" I have ever seen. What the hell are they talking about. This is no way real and a late April fools joke right? Right?

Surely they have a paper or something on this?

Assuming it all works 50k scanners running nonstop at 60 seconds a scan is 2.1 billion scans a month. Assuming they aren't lying/exaggerating about anything, and assuming there is no downtime/setup/etc. in between. In other words, reeks of massive bullshit.

I'm sorry, a billion full-body scans a month? For what possible reasons? Are people going to be doing these things recreationally? Cause otherwise you're talking about scanning the entire world's population, including the very young, the very old, the mobility-impaired, and those without easy access to US-based facilities (i.e.... people who are part of the small fraction of the global population who do not live in t…

Theoretically if this was possible (and I doubt it is, like c'mon) then it could be used for early detection of cancer.
