It won't be for just checking brake temps.
IR screens are not very big at all. A simple 6x8 lens will do the job.
What they are exactly, I can not tell you. They use so many varieties now. Some are sonic, some x-ray, some sniff, some simply detect radiation. While some do it all. -
just wondering i never saw that anywhere else

You'll see all kinds of toys there -
There is enough gear mounted on those poles in NM to tell what you had for dinner.
Working Class Patriot Thanks this. -
But...not the case as it seems. The most recent complaint from DHS, a driver could smuggle a bomb under his feet. It appears they delay the scan until your body has passed the machines.
Which I find pretty unbelievable, since most trucks pass through the thing at a pretty fast clip. It's going to take somebody quick on the trigger watching that thing, if true. -
So, they let the driver go by, and fry the guy in the sleeper with sonic rays.

this is a point of contention with me. I spent 7 years working with MRI, x-ray and ct scanners. I've had enough radiation for the rest of my life and I don't much appreciate being clasted every time I cross a scale. Plus I imagine they are using some rather high levels as well.
On another note though they have those scanners tuned so fast they could scan the black on a barcode and not the spaces between them at 30mph if the operator is good enough
