Forget Your "Junk"—The TSA Wants to Feel Up Your Mind | Mother Jones

Forget Your "Junk"—The TSA Wants to Feel Up Your Mind | Mother Jones: "Stranded travelers could face a new homeland security toy this week. On Tuesday, the Transportation Security Administration announced that it's begun 'testing new software' on select airport body-scanning machines in Las Vegas, Atlanta, and Washington DC. The new imaging technology 'auto-detects' suspicious material, boosting privacy by presenting potential threats on a generic human outline rather than a passenger-specific image. 'If no potential threat items are detected, an 'OK' will appear on the monitor,' notes the TSA press release."
