The U.S. Transportation Security Administration will begin testing new software on its body-scanner machines that "enhances privacy by eliminating passenger-specific images and instead auto-detects potential threat items and indicates their location on a generic outline of a person,"
according to TSA administrator John Pistole. The new software is scheduled to be tested today in existing advanced imaging technology machines at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport and "in the coming days" at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, according to TSA.
