According to TSA (Transport and Security Administration), Millimeter Wave Technology, another form of body-imaging technology, uses non-ionizing electromagnetic waves to generate an image based on the energy reflected from the body. The images generated through millimeter wave are lower-resolution than that of x-ray backscatter, and as a result, privacy may be less of a concern for the traveling public. TSA anticipates that both 'passive' and 'active' millimeter wave technology will be deployed at pilot sites in the near future.
Rafi Gabay, Head of Customs at Israel’s Ben Gurion airport, believes that the ‘Millimeter Waves’ device, manufactured by TSA can be used to detect smuggled diamonds.
