So far we have always seen that the big limit of the Sybil System is that you need to point a psycho pass scanner to an individual before he can be evaluated.

How do you point a psycho pass scanner to a collective? It might be easy if the collective is all in the same place, such as in the case of Kamui or the Sybil System (somehow). But when you need to judge, say, a whole city, where do you point your scanner to?

The only thing that might work is a satellite, but we are not even sure if that would work from that distance, we have never really been told that an individual can be scanned from orbit did we?
We also have never seen psycho pass scanners working through walls, which means it should still be impossible to scan all of the citizens of an entire city at once.
You basically have it scan an area and everyone in the area, much like Chiaka's locator spell with her gundo in Coffin Princess. And as atua mentioned the new assault types can already scan and fire through walls. It's really just a matter of Sybil devising a more large scan system, which probably isn't impossible for their particular society. The could probably do it now with the robots they have running around just make it so that they send out a wide scanning pulse or whatever, it's just that right now Sybil doesn't have enough processing power.
