The TSA will in the next few days introduce new generic body scan software at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International and Ronald Reagan Washington National.

The Transportation Security Administration has begun testing the new software. The new technology is designed to detect potential explosives and exhibit on a hazy "generic outline" projected a monitor that can be seen by screeners and travelers.

The 45- to 60-day trial software was introduced at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport with identical outline for all passengers. The move came as a response to the outcry by travelers who complained the machines present a graphic, naked image of them on a screen viewed by TSA security personnel.

The software can be applied only for scanners employing wave technology and not X-ray machines; however efforts are underway to similar method for scanners that use X-ray technology soon. The wave machines produce the image based on radio frequency energy, in millimeter waves, over the body. The TSA, involved in testing the software since fall, hopes to conciliate the public and focus on improving worker efficiency.
