This same technique can be used to LOOK INSIDE VOLCANOS,

It has also been used to search for unknown chambers in the pyramids [1].

From what I've heard from people close-ish to that experiment, it was always a PoC to see of muon tomography could be used to passively scan trucks for nuclear material.
