TSA makes us generic

The TSA has announced it will begin upgrading software on all it’s millimeter wave Advanced Imaging Technology machines that replaces actual passenger photos with generic outlines. The machines will auto detect any threats and show their location on the outline.

Since, the outlines are generic, the need for a remote TSA officer to view them is no longer needed. The passenger will be able to view the same outline as the operator of the machine. If there is no threat, an “OK” will appear. If there is, the area in question will be highlighted on the outline and the passenger will be lead to additional screening.

You can read the TSA press release here.

BTW, there is no proof that this is really be tested by TSA:
