X-Ray Machines & TSA
From White Rose:
A story in USA Today about a new camera using backscattering which reveals a person's nude body, see picture below. It should be made very clear that TSA knows of the privacy risks with backscattering Xrays. It also knows how to use software to address the privacy concerns. Examples of software techniques include:
Color enhancement of threats
Image obfuscation
Magnifying and clarify threats
Threats positioned on 3-D animated model
Threats positioned on 2-D “stick figure”
Outline Extraction
Feature Extraction
