How is it ensured that privacy will – to the greatest extent possible – not be violated during the use of the security scan?

An automatic detection algorithm for the scanner, such as in use at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, has been developed. Its use means that it is no longer necessary for an operator to examine the scan, this is done automatically by a computer. This technology means that the scan image is no longer seen by any person, including by a person remotely. As a result of the fact that the security scan indicates where the object is located on the body, it will be sufficient to perform a local search.
