Good, that's more data to learn from and that would only be a minor issue for a short period of time for new devices. How often have you flown with something that other passengers hadn't likely have flown numerous times with before you? Even if the system picks out 0.1% of items for manual classification and training, that's still mountains and mountains of data for it to learn from and that would only take a tiny fraction of the time for airport security to identify compared to what they deal with now.

The real fun starts when they create a social graph of people carrying similar things. For your safety of course. It probably could feed into an interesting friend-making system if they assigned seats based on the info.
- MertsA 8y agoThey could do that now with the current x ray images if they wanted to. Also by classification I'm just referring to classifying in broad categories such as benign, weapon, drugs, bomb, etc. Right now when you go through security the images aren't tied directly to the owner, just a location and a time. Unless the scanner gets tied to e.g. scanning your boarding pass when putting a bin through that doesn't give you a way to tie that information to an individual. Additional cameras with some AI to track people from the boarding pass scan through the checkpoint would allow for what you're talking about but all of that is orthogonal to what specific type of scanner is being used.
