Not only is it a serious proposal, it's been used in practice in every airport X-ray baggage scanner for decades, where it's called Threat Image Projection (TIP): https://www.xscann.com/products-HiTipPlus.html and it's actually a regulatory requirement in that context in a number of countries: https://caainternational.com/course/threat-image-projection-...

Yes, but you can require it in such a situation, as they're subordinates who have to follow policy or lose their jobs.

Most of anthropic's money comes from enterprises that may want to enforce something like this at an org level.

As I pointed out above, Anthropic places a lot of requirements on its users already, but if Claude Code TIP were optional, presumably, savvy users would turn it on voluntarily, unless they wanted to use Auto Mode. As Anthropic's study clearly documents, the current manual approval workflow basically doesn't work at all, because the users just approve 87% of dangerous actions. So there's no reason to use it, except maybe very rarely.

The same scanners that let handguns et al through 93% of the time, according to internal audits and journalist review?

Maybe pick a better comparison if so?
