Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Wow. They refer to the current machine we use at airports, especially Gatwick, which has to have its own room, massive aircon system and takes about 2 minutes to check a bag and cost millions, but this is really amazing. A $2000 to $5000 device about the size of mobile phone and it has its own embedded detailed database.
Gimme, gimme, gimme. I want one!
What happens if you shine it on a person? Can you tell what is in their bloodstream, see where I’m heading with this?
