TSA: Privacy - 0 views
-
The officer who views the image is remotely located in a secure resolution room and never sees the passenger.
-
To further protect passenger privacy, millimeter wave technology blurs all facial features and backscatter technology has an algorithm applied to the entire image.
-
Advanced imaging technology cannot store, print, transmit or save the image, and the image is automatically deleted from the system after it is cleared by the remotely located security officer. Officers evaluating images are not permitted to take cameras, cell phones or photo-enabled devices into the resolution room.

TSA recently new software on all millimeter wave imaging technology machines – upgrades designed to enhance privacy by eliminating passenger-specific images and instead auto-detecting potential threats and indicating their location on a generic outline of a person.
-
For units that do not yet have the new software, TSA has taken all efforts to ensure passenger privacy. To that end, the officer who assists the passenger never sees the image the technology produces and the officer who views the image is remotely located in a secure resolution room and never sees the passenger. The two officers communicate via wireless headset.
