The US Transportation Security Administration began rolling out new airport scanner software Tuesday that produces less revealing images of travelers.
The new software "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," the TSA said.
If only they had waited and launched with this technology in the first place. People -- like me -- would have still been skeptical about the idea, but it wouldn't have been such an obvious and outrageous trespass against our 4th Amendment rights.
