New TSA screening system in development "sees" too much

A new system being tested to screen passengers at US airports appears to be exposing more than it should.....

The system the TSA purchased, called “TAC,” is described by ThruVision as a “people-screening camera that sees any type of item—including metal, plastic, ceramic, gel, liquid, powder and paper—hidden in peoples’ clothing at distances of 3 to 10m,” or about 10 to 32 feet.
So anything not fully visible is considered to be deliberately "hidden". If that's true and this equipment gets into operation, almost everyone is going to be stopped and molested.
