AIRPORT SEARCHES WITH FULL BODY SCANNERS PDF Print E-mail

Is all the concern about these things just paranoia? Well, it may be instructive to recall something that occurred in N CA a couple of decades ago. Pac Tel employees carrying out routine service checks on phone lines overheard a very intimate conversation. So they recorded it and played it for fellow employees’ amusement. Eventually they were "disciplined" for this but not until the matter became public and recordings had been played numerous times in PacTel offices all over the state.

Is there any reason to think that TSA employees are above recording photos of full body searches of statuesque women? Or that when they have these photos they will not distribute them to all their buddies?

Or that they will not sell them to girlie magazines, the National Inquirer etc. to reprint – perhaps w/ the names and addresses of the women involved?

Note that once it buys them, the National Inquirer has a constitutional right to print the photos and the names and addresses of the naked women. The fact that the women were unaware of being photographed and didnt consent to having their names, addresses and naked photos published is irrelevant. That was held in the Pentagon Papers case. Also in cases where newspapers published gun registration lists and lists of concealed weapons permit holders.

They could be prosecuted for violation of Title 18 U.S.C. 2257 record keeping requirements. So some good could come from this brain dammaged law after all.

Really, snooze, I work for TSA and they have rules up the ass, and when these things do hit our airports that don't already have them, I'm sure there will be a "no cell phone on person" while using this machine, as to getting their addresses, it's not possible since only the people who check tickets actually see DL's and Passports and they don't have enuff time to write down peoples addresses (Passports BTW don't have addresses on them!!!) ANOTHER BTW, that whole story about the Bollywood actor, it turns out it was a HOAX!!! These machines do not have printers networked or attached to them!!!! He did it as a publicity stunt!!! Notice how it hasn't happend here in the states.... People reading stupid newspapers like the Inquirer believe anything.... RESEARCH UR INFO BE4 POSTING IT!

"...a few decades ago.." I would hope security has improved? But leaving that aside, surely your not suggesting abandoning the scan process because of a tech problem? Rather improving the scan process resulting worthless pics....
