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."

So what if your an armed terrorist?

I'm walking down the street with a concealed handgun ... I see no reason not to overthrow this government now before it gets much worse.

I really hope this contraption picks thwarts your plot. We've had enough dipshits with guns "overthrowing the government".

One of you gun-toting lunatics already shot a congresswoman in the face and killed 10 innocent bystanders. Wasn't that enough for you people?

We live in a democracy, moron. If you don't like the government then vote for someone else. And leave your gun at home >:-(
