Having some experience with IR spectroscopy and other lab equipment at university and in the industry, the BS of those scanners is pretty obvious. 
 
Personally, I would be glad to see some kind of correction or at least acknowledgement of the likeliness of a scam at the Techquicky video. As it stands people might see the video and believe it to be a real working thing and are more likely to get ripped off. Especially since the LTT brand has a huge reach and influence.
 
This should really be a topic of discussion especially for Techquicky. The person who has written the script should have had enough knowledge of the topic to at least smell that something is fishy, or otherwise might not have been suitable to create educational (in a wider sense) content for this specific topic. At the same time I totally understand that LTT is more "Tech" regarding computer hardware then scientific equipment. It is just kinda frustrating to see more and more YouTube videos and news articles reporting about science by repeating some mumbo jumbo they have read online or provided by some marketing department without questioning it because they did not really understand the topic.
 
A final footnote regarding Thunderf00t. I really love and hate his videos at the same time. He presents the scientific facts for many scams and other dubious claims in an easy and understandable way be using rough estimates (see Fermi estimation) and short mini experiments. But he tends to repeat himself and his arguments waaay to often as well as showing the same graphs and animations not once or twice but more like 20 times.

And just to add, if you have concrete wall with armatures (iron) between AP and end device you can observe a massive signal degradation

Wifi basically relies on bouncing around walls and through windows or doorways more than it does penetrating walls and floors.
It can penetrate some, but you can actually watch your signal strength improve just by opening your door into the doorway.

Another LTT video to add to the wall of shame.  Can we please get away from these recite a marketing script videos that LTT does from time to time.

This one could probably have been researched a whole lot better..
 
1:35 "Higher frequency can penetrate further into objects than lower energy far infrared or radiowaves"
 
Soo you're saying that visible light - which is even higher frequency than infrared -  goes through walls but wi-fi - which is radiowaves - stops at the skin of an apple? That doesn't seem like the reality I live in 

A real chemist explains why he thinks that SCIO is bs. It was featured in a Techquickie episode.
His video is quite long, so I suggest watching it on x1.5 speed and skip as much as you can (he tends to repeat himself).

I watched that video yesterday and he nicely explained why it is a BS. He basically bought a $60k (used for $6k) spectrometer machine which uses the same technology as the "molecular scanner" and through the experiment he showed that even precision lab equipment can't scan eg. orange. He might be smuggish person, but in most of the cases he is right.
 
Also, my way of thinking is if something on the promo video looks way too good to be true, it is 99.9% fake.

wow
I am subscribed to thunderf00t. I didn´t notice he had a new video out. Thanks mate!
