Members of law enforcement are at a big disadvantage when they enter a building...and not knowing where...or how many people are In the building...or where they are located....could save lives.
They could see through a wall and see If hostages were laying on the floor...and Identify the possible shooter as the one who Is standing and pacing back and forth.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — X-ray vision, a comic book fantasy for decades, is becoming a reality in a lab at MIT.
A group of researchers led by Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Dina Katabi has developed software that uses variations in radio signals to recognize human silhouettes through walls and track their movements......

Electrical engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have created a new kind of home security device that sees through walls to help people keep tabs on elderly relatives or small children.
MIT professor Dina Katabi demonstrated the device, called Emerald, at the White House in August. Now she plans to take a sabbatical in January in order to launch a new company to sell the device.
Since 2013, Katabi and her colleagues have been working on ways to use ordinary radio waves, like those emitted by wireless Internet routers, to track people inside buildings. These radio waves travel through walls and bounce off people and objects in an adjacent room....
