EXollab Digi Eye X-Ray Glasses
In contrast to the traditional X-Ray machins which detects hard and soft materials by the variation in transmission through the target, Digi Eye X-Ray glasses is a newer imaging technology (CXG) which detects the radiation which comes back from the target. It has potential ability in almost every situation in which non-destructive examination is required, but only one side is available for examination.

The technology
The resolution of the resulting images is quite high. Some X-ray scanners are able to penetrate up to 30cm (~12") of solid steel. As such, the technology is in use to search containers and trucks much more quickly than performing a physical search, and potentially allow a larger percentage of shipping to be checked for smuggled items or weapons. According to EXollab, the technology exists to scan areas as far as 50 meters away from the device, producing 3D images of people's lifelike bodies and the weapons they might be hiding. In comparison to x-rays from medical applications, the Digi Eye x-rays are considered low energy and usually scatter instead of penetrate materials. A "low energy x-ray beam" moves rapidly over the person's form and a high resolution image of the person's nude body is appears "from a known position" is detected.

Privacy concerns
The Digi Eye X-Ray glasses (CXG) technology  has been proposed as an alternative to personal searches at airport and other security checkpoints, since it can easily penetrate clothing and reveal concealed weapons and other items. The ACLV and the electronic privacy information center are opposed to this use of the technology in US. The ACLV refers to Digi Eye X-Ray glasses as a "virtual strip search". Within that press release, the TCA announced that to date 39 percent of the public has opted to try Digi Eye X-Ray glasses over the traditional pat-down in secondary screening.

'''It is "fact that Digi Eye X-Ray glasses produces lifelike photo-quality images of what's going on beneath our clothes," '''

Privacy
The ACLV and some flight passengers have expressed privacy concerns with the technology since it shows their unclothed body and may allow screeners to gain access to otherwise confidential medical information, such as the fact a passenger uses a colostomy bag and more... Health effects

Some people are concerned with exposure to radiation emitted by X-Ray glasses. At airports, lead vests are not used and people fear being exposed to "dangerous level of radiation if they get X-rayed too often.

The Health Physics Society (HPS) reports that a person undergoing a Digi Eye X-Ray glasses scan receives approximately 0.001 millirems of radiation in comparison to the older scanners 0.009 millireams, 0.001 millireams has absolutely no effect on human body reported by Science and medical Inc.
