TSA, American Airlines jointly testing innovative airport security technology
- andyjdavis 10y ago>Cameras that capture photos of the outside of the bag, which is linked to the X-ray image of the bag’s contents. Curious where all of that data goes. A giant catalog of x-rays of bag contents could be interesting. To get a little bit tin foil hat-ish, it becomes especially interesting if they system provides some way to tie a bag to a person's identity which would seem to be possible given the context.

Of course, they always find the innocent, and overly expensive water bottles bought at the airports including unopened ones. The one and only purpose of TSA is to catch terrorist-wannabes and create an expensive false sense of security.
