Excerpt:

“If something is obstructing the flow of that radiation, for example a weapon, the device will highlight that object,” Kelly said in a speech at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Kelly showed an image in which the T-Ray scanner highlighted the body of an officer in street clothes, with the outline of gun clearly visible.   Critics say the machine could be an invasion of privacy, and it risks an ordinary object on a citizen being misread by police as a weapon.   "Any technology that allows police to peer into a person's body or possessions raises a lot of questions... ," Donna Lieberman, told the Wall Street Journal.

Key:

• Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
• The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
• The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
