The nudie-scanners have been gone for over six years and the current scanners are nothing more than (at a high level) low-resolution "difference" detectors.
The only way they'll invade your privacy is if your genitals are made out of metal. And no, genital piercings don't trigger them.
With ATR (automated target recognition) scanners it is literally, definitely, assuredly, irrefutably impossible to reconstruct any image or representation of the human body in any capacity approaching useful or attributable using 2020 scanners.
What are the privacy ramifications of 2020 airport scanners?
Not 2014 scanners. I do not care about something that does not used anymore.
I would assert that a patdown is an infinitely greater "erosion" of privacy than the post-feature and contour extraction comparison of phase history data to a generalized model of the human form.

- catalogia 6y agoWho cares if there aren't privacy implications? It's still security theater and should be opposed on principle. Anything beyond metal detectors is pointless. You can't hijack airplanes anymore because the other passengers won't comply with hijackers anymore; that was proven on 9/11, long before any fearmongering bureaucrats imposed any of their corrupt theatrical horseshit.
- kilo_bravo_3 6y agoIn what way is it security theater? It’s real and it works better than the technology it replaced.
