The government is *gasp* LYING to its citizens!! Ping!

D’oh.

How about you? Where do you stand on the debate after seeing the published pictures?

---

Not exactly the pornography that some were *itching about, are they?

[Grunthor]

The scans are not from the “naked scan” machines that the Department of Homeland Security announced were going into 28 airports in the country, earlier this year. Instead, they are much more pixelated and less embarrassing.

Never mind my last post, I should read the article before opening my fat mouth.

Honesty, I wouldn't object to being scanned by one of the machines that they have in the courthouse there. Far more reasonable than the TSA scanners. I do object, however, to them saving those scans, illegally and in quantity. Even one illegally saved scan would inexcusable, but THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND? Do these people think that they are above the law???

And anyway, why did they bother? Those scanner images are hardly exciting.

They’re so fuzzy/blurry/sketchy how can anything be learned from them?

CBS knows best, and NPR is 'news':

Did you see the fellow who took a stand is now going to be investigated?

I am not so much concerned with the images.....but VERY concerned about the radiation. I opt out...

I didn't even have to wait to see the pictures. I knew I didn't want to have mine taken. It's appalling how many Americans are willing to trade liberty for a very dubious safety.

We're seeing another version of the "gun control" mentality. Take away guns from everyone, in the hope of keeping guns from criminals. Here, it's violate everyone's liberties, in the hope of keeping a bomb off the plane. Just as in the case of "gun control," where it would be better to control criminals than disarm honest people, at airports it would be better to look for bombers than for bombs.

When was the last time an Amish grandmother took a bomb on an airplane?

I don’t care what they report. Defund NPR! A turd wrapped in classical music.

The government seizes every opportunity to take away our freedoms. Any excuse will do. 9/11 provided an excuse to search passengers to find drugs or contraband. It was not done primarily to prevent hijacking.

Those images are nonsense. Try these..(too graphic to post)

From the website..
As we reported yesterday, claims that the body scanners did not provide details of genitals were disproven after a London Guardian journalist who was present at a trial for the machines earlier this week reported that the devices produce an image which make “genitals eerily visible.” German Security advisor Hans-Detlef Dau, a representative for a company that sells the scanners, admits that the machines, “show intimate piercings, catheters and the form of breasts and penises”....
A report from October 2008, when the naked body scanners were first being introduced at Melbourne Airport in Australia, detailed how the X-ray backscatter devices don’t work properly unless the genitals of people going through them are visible.
