Forget your house, *this* is straight out of 'Aliens':

"Time Domain says its RadarVision 2000, which should be available at the
end of this year, can detect motion as far as 30 feet away behind a wall
and can automatically scan for activity at various specific distances.
Small dots on a wedge-shaped liquid-crystal display indicate both the
object's location and rate of movement. "If something has moved on the
other side, we will find it," says Glenn Morris, Time Domain's vice
president of engineering for government systems. The company has
received
a $6 million Army contract to develop SoldierVision, a portable,
eight-pound, battery-powered version. The device could allow an advance
scout or an unmanned reconnaissance vehicle to scan buildings for signs
of
activity." (quoted from the link Karl provides above)

Now, they just need to add that nerve-racking 'bee-beep' noise, and
we'll
all know that "They're all around us, man!"

So who is working on xenomorph combat nasties to detect with this toy?
