Body scanners used as porn by airport security

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

On the upside, even I know the images on Federal scanners can be saved, printed and/or transmitted. Hell, why bother if you can't produce the hard copy evidence the scanner supposedly ferrets out? On the downside, I guess I thought there would be more privacy involved in reading the initial scans, like the TSA agent would be in a booth or private cubicle where others couldn't just look over his shoulder at what then becomes... porn. My ignorance as usual. Hell, yesterday I was having a conversation with a message on my answering machine before I remembered it was not a real person but a message. Some days DO suck more than others.

I've been suspicious of these like everyone else but in no way do these images constitute pornography. Computer enhanced nudity, yes, but don't call it porn.
