US Marshals Saved 35,000 Full Body Scans

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the look-at-my-blurry-junk dept.

PatPending writes "A Gizmodo investigation has revealed 100 of the photographs saved by the Gen 2 millimeter-wave scanner from Brijot Imaging Systems, Inc., obtained by a FOIA request after it was recently revealed that US Marshals operating the machine in the Orlando, Florida courthouse had improperly — perhaps illegally — saved [35,000] images [low resolution] of the scans of public servants and private citizens."

    Don't worry, I'm sure this will change now that we've voted those Republicans out.

    The anal-drug-and-bomb-probing story has been commonly mentioned. It seems these agents wouldn't mind it after all. Soon there will be live pole-dancing naked silhouettes around airports. On-demand-real-airport-agent feel-you-up whisky bars. If this trend keeps up airports will be the new destination for people needing various sexual fantasies fulfilled.

    Well of course once the Republican and Tea Party are in charge, there'll be NONE of this. Too bad we have to wait until 2012 for that.

    Or, if you have some end-of-life pants, let an ink pen 'accidentally' leak all over outside of your junkal area. Poor TSA guy will have "I grabbed a guy's inky junk" hands for weeks. Me, I'm just going to opt for the x-ray, drop my pants in the middle of it and hum the national anthem. If anybody complains I'll just claim I was confused about the procedure...
