I'm still looking into being able to get that info for you, but I can't promise anything.
So it's been half a year now, are we to understand that this is not a SSI issue, but rather a government vendor claiming that releasing the actual resolution and size is just a case proprietary information that they don't want released? What are they fearing?

Is that to say that the machines could never store and transmit images, even if DHS/TSA desires this capability at some time in the future?
A week has gone by, but still no response to a few simple questions...
