Next Up: X-Ray Vision

A new hand-held gadget lets the troops hear through walls a foot thick:

The Radar Scope is expected to be in use in Iraq by spring of this year, according to DARPA's Edward Baranoski. Weighing just 1.5 pounds, the device is about the size of a telephone handset and will cost about $1,000. Waterproof and rugged, it runs on AA batteries. Held up to a wall, users will be able to sense movements as small as breathing up to fifty feet into the next room.

Now we won't even have to wait for the aliens to start scuttling around to sense them. Just their breathing will give them away.
