Leaked Body Scanner Images Do Not Show The Whole Picture
http://www.prisonplanet.com/leaked-body-scanner-images-do-not-show-the-whole-picture.html


The footage of images taken and stored by a full body imaging machine that have leaked online only tell part of the story as to why the machines constitute such a threat to privacy.

The Drudge Report today linked to a story by Gizmodo.com (http://gizmodo.com/5690749/) which highlights the fact that the TSA and Janet Napolitano’s assertion that the imaging machines cannot store, transmit or print images is not true.

The images seen in this report (above) were obtained earlier this year via a FOIA request by the privacy watchdog group The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC).

BOYCOTT ALL FLYING BOYCOTT ALL AIRPORTS

Don't purchase tickets
Don't use their concession stands/restaurants
Don't park at their lots
Don't take any cabs/taxis/limos
Don't rent vehicles
Don't give them a nickle!


Starve the Beast and you'll see just how quick the tyrannts will change things when all the businesses start cumbling and especially UNCLE SUGAR losing all his Airport Security Fees and 10% Excise tax on every airport trip/plane ticket.

Remember when they said the genetals were blurred? Remember when they said they could never be printed, saved, or transmitted? Guess those were lies, too. (shocker!)

And dig this one (http://www.torontosun.com/comment/columnists/ezra_levant/2010/11/15/16158116.html): "A pilot from Skywest was going through security in Denver with his 18-year-old daughter and overheard a TSA officer saying into his headset, 'heads up, got a cutie for you.'"

;P

Matt Drudge sure hates the TSA!

Matt Drudge sure hates the TSA!

he is incredibly powerful and this proves it.

he has single handedly turned the TSA into a household name, and not a good one at that.

how can we harness this man to our own ends???

Up until a month ago I thought I would deal with it, pass on the scan out of privacy and radiation concerns and get the pat down. Everything I am hearing this last month has pretty much closed that avenue of travel for me. I am more concerned about government causing misery in my life from a flight than I am from terrorists.

I can see me getting arrested for simply asking for a change of gloves. I do not want someone touching my junk with the same gloves they used on others.

The airlines are too big to fail, though!

Drudge single handedly made this issue #1 heading into Thanksgiving week, and most importantly, large family gatherings :)

Um, we won't be discussing it. We'll be eating turkey and watching football and enjoying the rare pleasure of one another's brief companionship :)

I'm liking drudge more and more as time goes on.

I'm no big fan of Alex Jones, but the fact that he's started liking to his articles is a major plus in my view.

Large family gatherings are the most important part? I'd say largest travel day of the year trumps it.

Drudge Report twitter a few days ago:

They have broken their record from last year... Through Nov 1, they have had

9 Billion visits to their site... up from 7.8 Billion all of last year.


Very Very High Visibility and influential.

I don't want to come off overly harsh here, but:

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FLYING. THIS IS ONLY A FIRST STEP!!!!

"Not flying", while providing temporary relief, is not going to do any good.

TSA has made it clear, they plan on rolling this system out ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

No mode of transportation, including cars, or any major event or public gathering, will be free from this invasive nonsense, unless we put a stop to it right here and now.
