We consider two distinct applications of electromagnetically induced transparency in warm Rubidium vapor: magnetometric sensing of conductive targets behind thick metallic barriers for security screening; the use of twisted light to store topological information in atomic vapors. Experimental progress toward achieving these twin goals is described.
