Phone case turns your iPhone 8 Plus or Pixel 2 XL into an “X-ray” machine

I fail to see how you could possibly fit a (what looks to be) backscatter X-ray machine into a phone case like that, let alone do it in such a way that the person using it day-in day-out doesn&#x27;t get cancer.<p>Furthermore the article states it&#x27;ll use audio waves, not X-ray. At best that&#x27;ll allow you to detect acoustically reflective objects from close range, not guns specifically, and not explosives at all.

Probably uses the same trick as the old novelty x-ray glasses.
