No, it was a Rapiscan-branded backscatter machine. The protruding LCD panel on the 'exit' side, similar to the MMW setup, said Intelliview. This is different than the embedded LCD that usually has the Rapiscan logo displayed on the current backscatter installations. If you do a search, it shows that Rapiscan filed a trademark for Intelliview earlier in June.

I agree. While I have little objection on health grounds for the MMW, I still think that the machines slow down lines, infringe on liberties, are a waste of money and provide only a small increase in security. In some ways, one could argue that the machines provide less security since metal objects that a WTMD would detect could pass through undetected with the scanners.
I will report back on Sunday to see if the machine is in use with ATD or not.
