US Marshals Saved 35,000 Full Body Scans

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."

I have... many times actually. Every time I go through a metal detector or have my bag searched (nearly daily), the people are usually pretty friendly. It probably has something to do with me not having anything to hide, not being grumpy about it, and being friendly to the person. I found that their attitude correlates to your own... so if you want to be bullied, give them grief. If you want them to be friendly, be friendly to them. Same goes with any public facing employee: bank tellers, DMV employees, etc. The problem is the policy they have to enforce. They are human just like you and probably know the policy they have to enforce is backwards. No need to exasperate the situation by giving them crap for doing their job.
