Ke koi nei ʻo US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) i nā hoʻololi ʻana i kahi ʻōnaehana palekana mokulele hou no ka mea e kau ana i nā "pilikia pilikino" i nā poʻe holo ma o ka hōʻike ʻana i ka nui o lākou ma ka hōʻike, ua hōʻike ʻia kahi palapala i paʻi ʻia.
Ma hope o kahi hōʻike, ua noi ka Transportation Security Administration i nā hoʻololi i ka ʻaelike no ka mea ʻo ka scanner i loaʻa iā lākou "he pilikia pilikino e pili ana i ka Graphical User Interface," wahi a ka palapala i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka lā Malaki 26 a hoʻolaha ʻia e Quartz i ka Pōʻakahi.
ʻOiai ʻaʻole hāʻawi ka palapala i nā kikoʻī hou aʻe e pili ana i ke ʻano pololei o nā pilikia pilikino, ua koi ka TSA i ka mea hana o ka scanner e hoʻohui i nā hiʻohiʻona palekana hou aʻe ma mua o ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka hāmeʻa ma kahi "kaiaola ola."
Ke hoʻohana nei i kahi waihona aupuni ʻē aʻe, ua ʻike ʻo Quartz i ka mea hana ʻaelike - ua hoʻoponopono ʻia kona inoa ma ka palapala - ʻo ia ka ʻoihana palekana ʻo Virginia ʻo ThruVision. ʻO ka palapala e pili ana i ka TAC scanner o ThruVision, ka mea i wehewehe ʻia e ka hui he "kāmiʻi nānā kanaka i hōʻoia ʻia e ʻike i kekahi ʻano mea."
Ua manaʻo ʻia he ʻāpana o ka TSA "Future Lane Experience" (FLEx), kahi hoʻāʻo e wikiwiki i nā loiloi palekana i lilo i poʻo poʻo nui no ka poʻe kaʻa ma nā mokulele he nui.
Ua hui pū ka Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority me ka TSA i ka makahiki i hala no ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka scanner TS4 portable o ThruVision, ka mea a ka TSA i ʻōlelo ai ua hoʻomaʻamaʻa "nui" ma mua o ka hoʻohana ʻana iā ia ma nā poʻe kalepa LA. ʻAʻole maopopo inā he mau hopohopo like ka TSA e pili ana i ka TS4 ma mua o ka hoʻohana ʻia ʻana o ka hāmeʻa ma ke kula.
ʻO nā hōʻike e pili ana i ka hopohopo TSA e pili ana i ka scanner hou e hele mai ana ma hope o ka hōʻike o ka pule i hala e ProPublica i hoʻopiʻi i ka hāmeʻa o ka ʻoihana i kēia manawa no ka "hoʻokae" kūʻē i ka poʻe ʻAmelika-ʻAmelika ma ka heluhelu hewa ʻana i ko lākou lauoho, e koi ana i kahi helu disproportionate o pat-downs.
Ua hō'āhewa ka ACLU i ka TSA i ka makahiki 2009 no ka ho'ohana 'ana i ka 'enehana scanning no ka hana 'ana i "virtual strip searches" i hā'awi i nā limahana TSA i nā ki'i o ke kino, ka ū, a me ka pu'uwai. Ua hōʻike ʻia nā mea hou aʻe i ka makahiki 2010, i ka wā i hoʻopuka ai ka Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) i nā palapala TSA e kikoʻī hou aʻe i ka invasiveness o nā scanners.
