Currently under development by the Department of Defense's research arm, the sensors will listen for a suspect's individual pulse using electrocardiography and will be able to track up to 10 suspects at a distance of over 10 meters. No physical contact with the subject is necessary, nor is line-of-sight. It is also being designed to penetrate walls, floors, and doors—even concrete—to track individuals in dense urban settings. Hiding—behind walls, under floors, or in crowds—is no longer an effective means of escape.
Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG from the German Elektrokardiogramm) is a transthoracic (across the thorax or chest) interpretation of the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time, as detected by electrodes attached to the outer surface of the skin and recorded by a device external to the body.[1] The recording produced by this noninvasive procedure is termed an electrocardiogram (also ECG or EKG).

I'm not surprised. Maybe they got the idea from Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. You use them in one mission in a blizzard. They were a big help, so I don't blame them for wanting to develop something like this.
I see what your saying though, the gov could be spending the money to help people instead.
The Modern Warfare games use real existing weaponry, so I thought they already had this stuff.
Thanks for bringing this.
