Wasn't this the same company making the detectors for military teams to use
in SWAT type ops. Tom Clancy makes mention of these devices in his novel
Rainbow Six. There seem to be conflicting reports as to if the things work
or not. At present a lot of security forces use a detector that's based on a
simple Pyro detector circuit. It'a handheld and sweeps like a torch beam,
giving visual indication when it gets a heat source, problem is of course it
could be a radiator or a human. I tried a pyro based device for locating
animals during the day with limited results, personally I think you would
have better results with dowsing :-)
