orange prison jumpsuit or, possibly spandex cycling clothes, industrial strength antiperspirant, and some anti-anxiety pills to further reduce sweating. I wonder what the false positive rate would be then.
May the sign should just say "Please remove yourself".
I watched the screens at AMS (they are quite visible to the pax being screened, the security person and anyone else sitting in the gate area). I watched one man who was nearly bald, no glasses or facial hair, didn't appear to be sweating. I don't know why, but the screen image showed 'anomalies' all over his face.
FWIW, another young guy went through and one large 'anomaly' displayed in the center of his image. He pulled up his t-shirt and showed a monster belt buckle to the screener and was good to go.
