And yes, I think that also means that there is a risk of nekkid passenger scans being filtered through the black market by fed EEs desperate for cash.

I see a new type of porn being born.

I see a new type of porn being born.

I could see backscatter scans of famous people being bought up by the tabloids...at least, if there are any famous people that still fly commercial.

A website putting up backscatter scans of minor teens seems creepy though. Minors are not required to show ID when they fly so TSA will know instantly who is underage.

That is so gross, Carol. So very, very gross. LOL!

I'm not gross, just analytical.

Thought I'd bump this back up for discussion, seeing that some scanners are already being put into place.

WASHINGTON - The first of 150 full-body scanners planned for U.S. airports will be installed in Boston next week, officials said.
The plan is to install three machines at Logan International Airport, according to a homeland security official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement has not yet been made. In the coming two weeks, officials plan to install another machine at Chicago's O'Hare International.
The rest of the 150 machines that were bought with $25 million from President Barack Obama's 2009 stimulus plan are expected to be installed in airports by the end of June, another homeland security official, spokeswoman Amy Kudwa, said.
