TSA is set to begin installing new software on some of its airport scanners that renders images of passengers’ bodies into a generic outline instead of the detailed personal images that many passengers have objected to.

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Administrator John Pistole said on July 20 his agency will begin installing new software on millimeter wave Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) machines that will “enhance privacy by eliminating passenger-specific images.â€
