So, because I see that SATTSO has replied to this thread since I posted, I am going to re-ask my question:
Does the TSA no longer promise that AIT images will only be viewed by same-gendered employees?
They have removed all mention of this aspect from their screening FAQs site.
From
http://www.tsa.gov/approach/tech/ait/faqs.shtm
A remotely located officer views the image and does not see the passenger, and the officer assisting the passenger cannot view the image. The image cannot be stored, transmitted or printed, and is deleted immediately once viewed. Additionally, there is a privacy algorithm applied to blur the image.
And also, if you can still determine gender from the transmitted images, clearly the current "privacy algorithm" is insufficient.
