TSA recently announced its plans to replace human scanners at some of its fully-body imaging scanners at U.S. airports with analytics software which is designed to detect suspicious objects. Some critics are speculating when it comes to security concerns.
The software, known as "Automated Target Recognition," eliminates the technology in which the naked-but-blurry images of the passenger are viewed by TSA currently. Instead, the new software analyzes the image and will indicate the location of the potentially dangerous threat on a computer screen of a generic person. If nothing is detected on someone, then an "OK" message will appear and the person is cleared.
Can an algorithm really replace a human being looking at an image?
