Blogging has been light this week, with some on the team out for end-of-summer vacations and Bob's out taking care of his new baby.


 

Checkpoint Lines - What Do You Think?

I caught this article in the New York Times Sunday magazine over the weekend.

Personally, I think the author (who didn’t talk to TSA for this piece) is confusing millimeter wave and backscatter, but that's not what caught my attention.

His take on the lines before the checkpoint and who gets to go through quicker was interesting, and admittedly, we don't hear a lot about that.

So we’d like to get your take on it.


 

You asked for it...You got it, Millimeter Wave images.

Here are the much requested, much anticipated, full body images of millimeter wave --both front and back, male and female just like so many of you asked for.

These were provided to TSA by the manufacturer of the technology, L-3.

We asked L-3 to blur the facial features just like they are blurred when our officers see the images in Phoenix, Baltimore, LAX and JFK.

These are exactly what officers see at airports today and will see in future deployments.
