Denials Aside, Feds Storing Body Scan Images
The new generation of body scanners employed at airports (and many other places) can record detailed, anatomically revealing pictures of each person scanned, which is one reason they've raised the hackles of privacy advocates as well as ordinary travelers. Now, AHuxley writes "The US Transportation Security Administration claimed last summer that 'scanned images cannot be stored or recorded.' It turns out that some police agencies are storing the controversial images. The US Marshals Service admitted that it had saved ~35,314 images recorded with a millimeter wave system at the security checkpoint of a single Florida courthouse.
The images were stored on a Brijot Gen2 machine. The Electronic Privacy Information Center, an advocacy group, has filed a lawsuit asking a federal judge to grant an immediate injunction to stop the TSA's body scanning program."

And when that doesn't work, EPIC failed!
Tic-Tac-Toe, Global Thermonuclear War, and relationships all have the same winning move.
It's all the young, beautiful 16 to 19 1/2 year-old females who are all alone and need protection from the strong DHS.
So, what kind of marker do I need to purchase to leave a few messages of what I think about the TSA on my special parts next time I go through the airport?
Motorcycles, Robots, Space Gossip and More!
... they'll show up at porn sites real soon. You just need one perverted US Marshal with a USB memory stick, the Internet will do the rest.

Wow! That many cute chicks have walked through their scanners?

Look for the sweaty pervert manning it.
Shouldn't the poster be GOrwell? Wouldn't it be even more appropriate!
The TSA also uses a different machine.
I had my first millimeter wave radar scan at the Denver airport when traveling last weekend. I thought it was rather interesting, but wasn't impressed by their insistence that I had something in my pockets, until I turned them inside out to show they were empty.

I was going to try to find some cites to prove you wrong and I went to Google and typed in "naked children pictures enjoying pornographic" and thinking better of it, closed the browser window.

I for one can't wait 'til we get this clown Bush and his Republicans out of office, and a new Democrat administration in place, so they can stop this spying stuff.

I'm waiting for somebody to "Strike A Pose" and do "Cheesecake Shots" on these scanners and its guaranteed to make the rounds on the net.
MSBPodcast.com The opinions expressed here are my own. If you don't like 'em... Think up your own stuff.
DUH.
They take a picture of your penis to find out if your smuggling a .22 caliber sub-compact or a 44 Magnum pistol. They take a picture of your balls to find out if your smuggling a grenade.
Sheesh.
Who in their right mind would want Kevin Smith's body scan image?
After all, I am strangely colored.
Relative to Bush, Obama can move star systems with his mind.
I understand some people may be offended and think this is trolling, but at least Obama did not commune with Jesus for a month to make a health care related decision or literally interpret the Bible to lead us all.
Religion aside, Bush was incredibly incompetent anyways.
