Progress on the Naked Body Scanners

This is better.

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.
