This bounces off of walls, for the most part, so it will do the exact opposite of what you want. It will show you everything inside the house, not everything inside the walls.

I don't think so. Drywall is fairly transparent to GHz, but I guess depends on if your home is made of sticks or something sturdier. People reflect better, which AFAIK is what this technology is highlighting.

Yeah I was thinking the higher the frequency the less penetration. GHz definite isn't penetrating through walls too good.
