DHS Tries To Hide Mobile Scanner Details

OverTheGeicoE writes "The Electronic Privacy Information Center filed a Freedom of Information Act request last year (PDF) with the US Department of Homeland Security, whose Transportation Security Administration has been investigating the use of x-ray scanning technology for covert use in more public places, like train stations and even ordinary city streets. TSA has tested interesting devices like the Z Backscatter Vans both privately and on members of the general public. EPIC recently received new documents from DHS. Some of the documents are almost completely black from redactions."

But, this is the Obama administration. He wouldn't create any legislation that would do anything like this. It's not like he would send you to prison if you didn't pay for health care, nor deny such health care if he decided you were too old to bother with, nor be able for the same health care to be able to take any funds directly out of your bank account whenever they wanted to..It's not like he could ram such legislation through congress without having anyone read it.
