The Fed's Porn Stash

"Despite past statements by federal agencies that images from body scanners were not and could not be saved or recorded, a government agency has admitted to storing approximately 35,000 body scan images.
Privacy advocates have denounced the machines for generating images so graphic they are tantamount to "virtual strip-searching," and, in the UK, minors were recently barred from passing through the controversial full body scanners over child pornography fears."

"A U.S. Marshals Office spokeswoman said the Brijot Gen2 machine in Orlando automatically stores the images to a hard drive, and security officers can look at an image of the person who just entered the machine and the two previous images. But all other images can only be accessed via an administrative passcode, spokeswoman Carolyn Gwathmey said."


Think of how much a scan of a celebrity would net a TSA employee on the black market?

Let's see the starting pay is $17,083 yr.

How much would I have to pay for an original Angelina Jolie print for my office wall?

When you invert the "ghostly images" it's easier on the eyes...

Too bad that image is really her standing naked, and then inverted, and not an image from the TSA scanner

Granted the TSA scanners are obviously capable of getting more detail than what is seen in the press releases, after all, one employee got into a fight and fired because he got tired of his coworkers making fun of him after going through the scanner.  It just bothers me that something like this is passed off time and time again as "what the image really looks like", or as the real McCoy. 
And yes, the faked one looks so much better than the real ones.
