AFAIK are bodies are not transparent, we a bags of water that very much
attenuate the radar signal. Laser radar is very much in the visable
band.
Normal radar does go up into the microwave range.

Yes, you need complete line of site, trying to have the light go through
plastic at a extreeme angle, such as lying in a tank bag will probably
yield with not the best results as I would expect the light to refract.
