<sarcasm> Nah, that is just to show all of us how utterly worthless the WTMD machine is -- now that they have the super-duper, fancy-schmancy MMW machine! Oh, and the grope patdown as a backup. </sarcasm>
Guess they don't want anyone to remember how the WTMD was THE method just a few weeks ago.
I've also noticed that the airports getting new MMWs in past 6 weeks have WHOLEHEARTEDLY followed this procedure of "everyone goes through MMW", "WTMD is not used", and "anyone who won't go through our new machine is EVEN MORE SUSPECT".
