Muon opportunists: Detecting the unseen with natural probes

Very cool. Using the natural muon flux as a light source for seeing through walls and rocks and things. Maybe that's what Superman's x-ray vision used. I like the idea. Too bad it says the muon detectors are a million bucks each.
This article talks about using the muon flux to see inside volcanoes. To me this technology screams to be used to map hydrocarbon reserviors. Send detectors down with the wireline tools. Process like seismic.
