Terahertz radiation can pass through lots of materials like plastics, paper, ceramics, and fabrics. Therefore, it’s not too terribly wrong to say that it can see through clothes. But, scanning a clothed person will produce mostly a rough silhouette form of their body with very little or no surface detail. So…
Security Value – High: May be quite useful to scan whether a person is packing heat, in the non-infrared sense of packing heat.
Porno Value – Alas, Quite Low: But maybe not quite zero if you’re juvenile, extremely easily aroused, and lacking in respect. (That was somewhat redundant.)
