I listened to a former CIA agent say that whatever new technology is out for public use has likely been in use by US intelligence for 10 years. They are way ahead of the curve as far as use of technology.

probably longer for a lot of it, pretty common, military tech as well, probably a bunch of new stuff will be generated by the re-vitalized space program

Had this as a kid. Was really interesting and taught kids basic electronics. Should be used in schools IMO.

I wore out the speaker in mine. Cranked that shite up!

Cool. I can't wait for President Ocasio-Cortez to have that at her fingertips.

Generally true, even according to the International Spy museum in DC. Stuff people saw in James Bond movies was at least 20 years old.

But sometimes they want to scare the shite out of our enemies, so they spill the beans on recent tech, like they did with the stealth bomber/fighter.

If by new toys you mean Biotech in apple watches and cell phones, then sure

I saw this on OG Star Trek season 1–Court Martial. They isolated every heartbeat on the ship

Saw the Next-Tell on there as well.

If it can locate, isolate and "print" your heartbeat "signature".... I wonder what else it might could do. At least, were I Iranian that's what I'd be wondering.


Sounds like this tech was created for assassination, and then adapted for rescue.

I love all the stories of amazing new war technologies we have, but I wish they’d zip their mouths about it.

The guy was in contact via his survival radio, presumably they could just geolocate him from that.

I’m sure he didn’t have it on the entire time for fear of being located by the enemy.

Didn't they have those in one of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare games? They had a rifle sight that was a heartbeat detector. That was 3 or 4 motherboard meltdowns ago, I don't game anymore.

So they can detect a heartbeat and relocate it precisely from 40 miles out?

Pretty sure they can stop that heartbeat the same way they’re detecting it. Just know that the cia weapons are meant to exploit and kill, not search and rescue
