[QUOTE="HackerF15E, post: 2030181, member: 9689"] The short version is no, it is not possible the way you are thinking of it, and no it is unlikely that this activity has anything whatsoever with firearms. If this kind of technology were actually possible -- having some aircraft-mounted methodology of finding small arms -- it would all ready be getting heavy use over in Afghanistan looking for weapons caches and IED makers. This is not possible with x-ray, radar, sonar, magnetic anomoly detectors, IR scanners, spectral analysis, or anything else. There is so much else in your house that is metal and would show up on some kind of "scan" (your electrical system for one, plus your water pipes, HVAC ducting, etc) that picking out a small arm amongst all that clutter would just be impossible. It can't even be done in Afghanistan where people are living in mud huts without all of that other clutter. [/QUOTE]
