I-US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) ifuna ukulungiswa kwesistimu entsha yezokuphepha esikhumulweni sezindiza ngoba ibeka "ubungozi bokungasese" kubagibeli ngokukhombisa kakhulu kubo ekubonisweni, kuveze umqulu osanda kushicilelwa.

Ngemuva kombukiso, iTransportation Security Administration icele ushintsho kwinkontileka ngoba isithwebuli abasitholile “sinezingozi zobumfihlo ezihambisana ne-Graphical User Interface,” kusho lo mbhalo wangomhlaka-26 Mashi futhi wenziwa umphakathi yiQuartz ngoMsombuluko.

Ngenkathi lo mbhalo unganikezi eminye imininingwane ngohlobo ngqo lwezingozi zobumfihlo, i-TSA ibidinga ukuthi umenzi wesithwebuli afake ezinye izici zokuphepha ngaphambi kokuthi acabangele ukusebenzisa le divayisi “endaweni ebukhoma.”

Esebenzisa enye i-database kahulumeni, uQuartz wakhomba usonkontileka - ogama lakhe elicindezelwe kulo mbhalo - njengenkampani yezokuphepha yaseVirginia iTruVision. Lo mbhalo ubhekise kuskena seTruVision sikaTAC, inkampani esichaza njenge- “ikhamera efakazelwe yokuhlola abantu ebona noma yiluphi uhlobo lwento.”

Lo mshini kufanele ube yingxenye ye- "future Lane Experience" ye-TSA, umzamo wokusheshisa ukuhlolwa kwezokuphepha osekuphenduke ikhanda elikhulu kubagibeli ezikhumulweni zezindiza eziningi.

I-Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority yabambisana ne-TSA ngonyaka odlule ukuhambisa isithwebuli esiphathekayo se-Th4Vision, i-TSA ethi isihlole “kakhulu” ngaphambi kokuyisebenzisa kubagibeli be-LA. Akukacaci noma ngabe i-TSA ibinakho yini ukukhathazeka okufanayo nge-TS4 ngaphambi kokuthi kusetshenziswe insimu kule nkambu.

Ukudalulwa mayelana nokukhathazeka kwe-TSA ngalesi sithwebuli esisha kuza ngemuva kombiko wangesonto eledlule owenziwe yiProPublica osola ubuxhakaxhaka bale nkampani “ngokubandlulula” abantu base-Afrika-baseMelika ngokungazinaki kahle izinwele zabo, okudinga inani elingenakulinganiswa labaphenyi.

I-ACLU yagxeka i-TSA ngo-2009 ngokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bokuskena ukwenza "ukusesha okucacile" okwanikeza abasebenzi be-TSA izithombe zezitho zangasese zabagibeli, amabele nezinqe. Okuningi kudalulwe ngonyaka we-2010, ngenkathi i-Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) ishicilela imibhalo ye-TSA echaza kabanzi ngokuhlasela kweskena.

LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:

While the document provides no further details on the exact nature of the privacy risks, the TSA required the scanner's manufacturer to add additional security features before it would consider using the device in a “live environment.

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority partnered with the TSA last year to deploy ThruVision's portable TS4 scanner, which the TSA claims to have vetted “extensively” prior to using it on LA commuters.
