The New York Police Department (NYPD) is working with the U.S. DoD and a private contractor to develop a device that can detect whether or not someone is carrying a concealed firearm.

The device uses infrared rays to provide officers with a digital outline of where a weapon is concealed on a person's body. The unit is currently quite large and only functions at a distance of 3 to 4 feet, but the developers hope to make it work from a distance of up to 25 meters. The plan is to mount it on a police van so operators can shoot the infrared rays down a street at a subject suspected of carrying a weapon.

NY Post - "Since the infrared rays cannot pass through metal, the device provides officers with a digital outline of exactly where the firearm has been tucked away on the subject’s body, Kelly said."

Authorities ordered the aircraft to return. It did and the woman, her bag and gun were removed. After questioning she was released. She said she had forgotten the firearm was in her bag. She faces charges from at least one state law violation, but officials say she will not face any federal charges.
