Where will the surveillance stop and how do naked pictures of people stop terrorism?

Documents leaked from the Home Office in London this week have revealed that the government is looking into using X-ray technology cameras by concealing them in lamp posts to "trap terror suspects".
The cameras, currently used in security check points at airports, can see through clothes and produce a naked image of anyone within their range.
Security experts have questioned the usefulness of such a move, as it would be hard to clearly decipher any "suspicious" objects, and near impossible to act upon any sighting:
"Some guy walks past and his picture is beamed back to a control room to say that something is under his jacket. What do you do? Despatch a police car to hunt him down and frisk him? security expert Bob Ayers, of Chatham House, commented to the BBC.
"The real question is not whether the technology can see something under the clothing. It's how you respond to it when the technology says there's something unusual.
"Do you have police strolling down each street, ready to ask people what they have under their jacket?"
Leaving aside the possible health risks of firing X-rays, Millimetre waves or terahertz radiation at people in the street, exactly how will this prevent "terrorism"?
We previously detailed how such methods have already been in use at rail stations in London.
