Maybe so, but it'll never see through walls - it's Laser technology,
not Radar technology!

I'm dubious about this 'radar flashlight', though; remembering hos Tom
Clancey was hooked on a peice of sci-fi tech that would never have
worked in the first place, and with no offence to the other Roger, not
withstanding hand held battle field radar systems, are we sure this
hand-held flashlight radar tech actually (a) exists, and (b) works as
advertised?
