If you weren’t watching C-SPAN today, you missed Kip's testimony before the Committee on Homeland Security's Subcommittee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The Congressional Hearing was centered on how the Transportation Security Administration will continue to enhance security for all modes of transportation.[...]
Millimeter wave will allow our TSOs to view a noninvasive image of a passenger revealing any items that were not divested. These images are friendly enough to post in a preschool. Heck, it could even make the cover of Reader’s Digest and not offend anybody.[...]
Can you prove these naked body images are indeed kindergarten friendly or are we just supposed to take your word for it?

Judge for yourself:
I only had time to skim the comment section...reviews not good to say the least.
That picture shows such a lack of dignity. They’re treating us like cattle.
Let’s see a preteen.
What nightmares are made of.
If you want to decide for yourself whether it makes kiddy porn, you’ve got to see a picture of a kid.
That’s kind of the Catch-22 in any judgement of content: Everybody has to see the content you are trying to prevent everyone from seeing.
You can’t tell from some middle-aged woman.
And let’s see someone who is obese while we’re at it.
Let’s see a guy’s gonads.
This is as neutral a picture as you could possibly find and is therefore worthless.
Whenever I see pictures of the TSA scanning images it makes me think of the Jews who had to strip naked in front of the Nazis before before being herded into the gas chambers. I know that’s a bit dramatic and this in no way compares to that horror, but it’s the thought that these images always bring to my mind.
It is the quality of the thought and the experience, not its degree or intensity, that makes it objectionable and, in Western thought, anathema.
We aren't boiling frogs here. We're dumping them in room-temperature battery acid. The thermostat setting is beside the point.
That Administration figures have a vested personal, pecuniary interest in? (So I heard on AM radio.)
I want to see the health-risk assessment for these machines. I don’t care how “censored” the images are - there is STILL a definite concern about the X-Ray Technology. Has this technology been approved by Oncology Specialists? What is the recommended exposure?
I feel obamacare is about to be like those gas chambers.
I just don't see the usefulness of this scan. It shows body mass only. If I could see the person's shoulder through the chin, then maybe the scan would be useful.
Why is the TSA not increasing its numbers of nitrate explosive-sniffing dogs?
Oh, yeah, Muslims are offended by dogs, too.
Are not explosives that could be hidden on the body all full of nitrates which dogs can smell?
Is there a way to mask the nitrate scent so that a dog could not detect it? I have never heard of a way.
Bomb dogs are chosen for not being agressive.
They can detect nitrates easily inside of two meters and very often from further distances.
Nope— I find the Perfume ad with the black beauty Ms.B. much more preschool friendly.These TSA rules seem made by the same folk pushing for Gays in the Military- except the Lord of hosts had preserved a very small remnant we would all be made to be like Sodom or like the fields of Gomorrah.I get the
back hair standing at attention just watching the network
squids of the TSA guy before Congress.
The linked article is from 2008 and does not reflect the images that the machine now produce.
X-rated images.
