According to an article in the MIT magazine the US Department of Defense has a laser device that can identify a "unique heart print" from 200 meters. Even through clothes.
The device, developed on the instructions of the US Special Forces, is in other words capable of identifying someone even without looking at them. Instead of facial recognition, the Pentagon's laser scanner reads the "cardiac signature", the distinctive pattern that differs from subject to subject.
The Pentagon laser already works from a considerable distance (200 meters), but it can also increase the range. "I'm not saying that you can also identify someone from space, but it will certainly work from much further away" he says to the magazine MIT Steward Remaly, who chairs the Pentagon's Counter-Terrorism Support Office.
