After that raised scanners used in airports sensation after it was revealed that they show half-naked pictures of passengers, also appeared fresh criticism on them recently after researchers stressed as a tool incapable of detecting concealed weapons in clothing.
Where researchers suggests that the best American universities scanner can be fooled quickly and fails to recognize objects prohibited cross covered with plastic sheeting or placed under clothing.
Results which will be announced within the conference Usenix Security in San Diego, also indicate that scanner software impenetrable to display images at right angles certain or by covering certain parts of the body in ways that would be undetectable, according to scientists .
In spite of that the Transportation Safety Administration in America has stopped last year for the use of scanners, after 4 years, after a wave of anger from passengers for being cause stripped naked, still working scanners in some government facilities such as prisons, as well as at some airports around the world in several countries, including Rwanda, Tanzania and Kenya. The researchers pointed out in the same context that the original approval on the scanners came to cast doubt about the safety of the transport management approach for assessing the technology they use now.
Previously, that American authorities spent an estimated 600 million pounds to install these scanners at 160 Airport before they remove them in the final last year.
He said one of the lead researchers, named Alex Halderman: "These machines have been tested in secret, and probably has these tests without thinking in the mindset of the opponent, and thinking about how the attackers adaptation techniques used."
He pointed out that these scanners may be useful in dealing with aggressors naive, but it will not benefit with the use of intelligence to overcome such modern tools.
