I don't really feel it does. Sure I can see the costs involved complicate things. However, doubling the cap will likely introduce some economies of scale, surely that would reduce training costs. Also capacity would grow to meet traini

This is interesting now as it's a hot topic in the UK. The government claims this technology will finally be in use next year [1]. Apparently, it can detect concealed knives (even under heavy clothing) from 6 metres away using ordinary

Sounds like "terrain" or one of the lesser used definitions of the word "territory". I think "terra" means land in Latin.
