John Pistole announced that TSA will begin pilot testing at three airports, Las Vegas, Reagan National, and Atlanta, new technology for the AIT machines. This new technology will show stick figures that both the Officer and the passenger being screened can see. It's called Automatic Target Recognition (ATR, don't you just love the government's obsession with acronyms?). Think EDS machines for passengers. The computer will identify if there are any anomalies on the passenger. If it doesn't identify any, then it will show no image and the passenger is good to go. Let's hope it's not easy to thwart the technology.
