Millimeter-wave sensing is a more niche form of radar, and it's used in gesture recognition, health monitoring, and presence detection [such as those pesky TSA monitors at the airport]. But these systems leak information. We showed that membership inference attacks can determine whether a specific person was in the training data, raising serious privacy concerns for certain mmWave systems.
