EO-40 BackScatter Specs (From Manufacturer Catalog)
Utilizing Optekk Industries’ patented X-ray imaging technology, the EO-40 allows the wearer to perform full-body scans of subjects with ease. While earlier models were designed for airlines, the EO-40 BackScatter Specs have been specifically tailored to the needs of law enforcement agencies. A portable option for scanning human targets—designed to detect concealed weapons, explosives, narcotics, and contraband—the EO-40 can also supply enhanced-imaging through most walls and surfaces.
The EO-40 has been optimized with tactical overlays, providing readouts of a subject’s heart rate and, if identified, instant weapon analysis. Uplink with facial recognition technology, BID chip support, and criminal databases is optional.

Yes, Reena – penetration. In other words, I think Madison is going to send some bullets through that wall… At least, I’m fairly certain that’s what Madison has in mind anyway.
“Penetration” has other meanings…
It would appear that Maddy hasn’t even noticed her clothing damage yet.
“X-ray” imaging technology, though? That’s the bad kind of radiation IRL (ionising), it raises your cancer risk so exposure should be limited. The damage from a small dose is limited so it’s fine as a tradeoff if you take a picture only every so often with good reason, but these googles work in real time. I wonder – is this intended as just marketing speak (“X-ray = see-through!”), or is this a deliberate choice? You know, showing a casual disregard for this sort of thing from the corp who made them, and an implication of a political system which lets them get away with it?
More likely just marketing jargon: everyone knows what ‘x-ray specs’ do, kids have been buying from the backs of comics for decades
The proper term is something that only a geek nerd would understand (and have wet dreams about)
Also you need to remember that RL x-ray imaging works by having the subject between the emitter and the detector. Sending x-rays from the glasses wouldn’t be of any use since most of the radiation would pass through and not be reflected back.
Note the “backscatter”. That’s the type of imaging that the full body imagers in airports used. They detect the reflected, not transmitted radiation. Admittedly, if it truly is X-ray, then there is still a health risk, although the energy used is relatively low.
He’s probably gonna be wearing anti-bullet armor (which of course, those goggles weren’t made to be able to detect.《eyeroll》
