"While passengers may generally decline AIT screening in favor of physical screening, TSA may direct mandatory AIT screening for some passengers as warranted by security considerations in order to safeguard transportation security"
- crymer11 11y agoAdditionally (on page 5): > Individuals undergoing screening using AIT generally will have the option to decline an AIT screening in favor of physical screening. Given the implementation of ATR and the mitigation of privacy issues associated with the individual image generated by previous versions of AIT not using ATR, and the need to respond to potential security threats, TSA will nonetheless mandate AIT screening for some passengers as warranted by security considerations in order to safeguard transportation security.
- jlgaddis 11y agoThanks aestetix and crymer11, I actually saw that part but the title makes it sound like TSA can force everyone to do AIT screening. The text doesn't support that, though. > "... TSA will nonetheless mandate AIT screening for some passengers ..." Okay, so some passengers ... > " ... as warranted by security considerations ..." ... assuming they have a reason to, basically. Don't get me wrong. I loathe the TSA, think that the imaging stuff is bullshit and a violation, and I "opt out" every time I fly. The title, though, makes it sound as if everyone will be subjected to the screening everytime they fly. I don't think this document supports that claim.
