This is very similar to radar, which raises the question, is radar already used to spy on peoples movements through walls?

X-Ray backscatter is definitely used for this, most famously by secret NYPD vans.

> The radars work like finely tuned motion detectors, using radio waves to zero in on movements as slight as human breathing from a distance of more than 50 feet. They can detect whether anyone is inside of a house, where they are and whether they are moving.
The cost of those devices should fall with 802.11bf Wi-Fi.
> the vans deliver a radiation dose 40 percent larger than delivered by a backscatter airport scanner; bystanders present when the van is in use are exposed to the radiation that the van emits… there may be significant health risks associated with the use of backscatter x-ray devices as these machines use ionizing radiation, a type of radiation long known to mutate DNA and cause cancer.
Could this radiation meter detect the presence of such a van?
