The incredible ignorance of the Politically Correct dipsticks who run this country may result in much more than their own a$$es hanging out. It might result in some form of nude photo of YOU being available online. And to think, these same people put our military in jail for posting nude photos from Abu Ghraib.
A privacy group says the Transportation Security Administration is misleading the public with claims that full-body scanners at airports cannot store or send their graphic images.
The TSA specified in 2008 documents that the machines must have image storage and sending abilities, the Washington-based Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) said.
That requirement leaves open the possibility the machines -- which can see beneath people's clothing -- can be abused by TSA insiders and hacked by outsiders, said EPIC Executive Director Marc Rotenberg.
EPIC, a public-interest group focused on privacy and civil rights, obtained the technical specifications and vendor contracts through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.
The written requirements also appear to contradict numerous assurances the TSA has given the public about the machines' privacy protections.
"The machines have zero storage capability," the TSA Web site says.
And the TSA has distributed numerous news releases with similar language as it lobbies for public acceptance of the machines as a less intrusive alternative to pat-downs.
Pat downs? How about this. Keep your eyes off of our wives undressed bodies, keep your damned hands to yourself and don't be afraid to profile. All in favor, say "AYE".
