Did anyone see this headline at drudgereport?

 

The accompanying picture shows Napolitano and a picture of someone in the scanner.

 

 

Run it through photoshop and invert it:

 

You get this: http://thewellrats.com/malbor2/taa/sscaninverted.jpg

 

Have we invaded privacy enough yet? How about we profile the people that are a problem.

 

Do you want some pervert looking at your 12YO daughter going through the scanner? Enough is enough.

But Mark, no one in a position of authority or government would ever usurp their position or do something so egregious. I think you may be a little paranoid.

Does Napolitano get better looking when you invert her?

There's a difference?

Tried it. Nope.

 

It would be a more effective demonstration of the technology if Janet went through it herself, not some model who was prepped and styled.

What are you kidding me Tim? Absolute power corrupts absolutely. My daughter is NOT going threw that thing, ever. I don't care if he or she watching the screen is a high ranking Government employee. The only person that needs to see anyone naked is a doctor.

Ray, by now you should know my sarcasm when you read it.

Hello Ms. Kidman, my name is Dr. Dan and I'm here to see you...

Ray, by now you should know my sarcasm when you read it.

 

I was hoping you were being sarcastic, but you didn't use one of those smiley faces or something.

I even used a Dan word to show educated sarcasm.

 

how is that?

What this tells me is that the actual image recorded is basically full nudity and their using filters to "detune" the image.

 

Are the pre-processed raw images being stored? I'll bet they are and the reason is for auditing later. If they miss something they'll go back through the entire scans and see how they missed it. Bank on it.

 

These images WILL get out. It'll be pervert paradise.

Worse - it'll be kiddy pron paradise. :x

I agree with you, this is ging to get bad. It will be a payday for pediphiles.

I remember reading about this in the wake of the incident on Christmas. From a purely intelligence standpoint, this measure being taken is not needed and a step back. How in the hell does taking full body scan images of someone going to deter future attempts? Maybe a handful at first, but the bad guys will innovate, and then what will be our counter?

 

Personally, I think maybe the body scans should be a secondary process-- after someone gets flagged down. I know full cavity/strip searches are taboo-- so, why not replace them with this scan instead? However, I do not think it is necessary for EVERY person to go through this process.

 

The intelligence community F'ed up, I think that's obvious. Though, I guess it doesn't help the IC's case when reports show that TSA employees repeatedly fail their basic duties like STANDING AT THEIR POST... however, I'm seriously not pointing fingers because somewhere in the process, the IC dropped the ball. However, maybe someone should streamline more with foreign intelligence agencies, or take the extra five minutes to process someone's report about a possible threat. I think I am going to write to someone in the government about this one because I find this extremely offensive myself.

Imagine when the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders are coming through security, all these TSA goons will be drawn to the scanner like moths to a bug light.

Ridiculous, these things are stupid! Everyone knows what (or who) to look for in a terrorist. It aint my mom traveling from South Carolina to Newark. It's going to be a guy named Mahommed, Nadal or abdul.

And the Terrorist will be able to slip by distracted security.

Not entirely true, but it is a start.

Okay, but we know it isn't Ciny McCabe or Frank Marshall. Regular everday folks are not putting bombs up their ass or in their shoes. It's going to be a young Arab male (soon females I bet) from the middle east.

Ray - the latest was not from the mideast but from Africa.

 

What the TSA needs to do is get its head out of its doo doo hole and PROFILE, period. Hmm, you're from Indonesia (95% muslim - http://islamicweb.com/begin/population.htm), are traveling one way, with a paper bag for a carry on, you paid cash and have no passport - ALARM!

Your right, but north east Africa is kinda in the same boat as the middle east. And South East Asia is going to be the where the next terrorist comes from. There are millions of willing and able terrorists in that area as well.

Are you sure that's a legit image from a TSA scanner? Doing an invert on it clearly works on that picture, but I tried a dozen other pictures I found online that were supposedly tsa body scan pictures and none of them had the level of detail of that picture. Not saying any of the ones I found were necessarily legit... just wondering if someone purposely set up that picture to invert like that

It's from Drudge. You wouldn't expect him to sensationalize a picture would ya?

 

No. Never. :|

 

Who cares? I get a full body pat down EVERY time due to some metal and I really don't give a s**t.

Freedom dies the death of a thousand small cuts.

 

If we were serious about airline security we'd just copy what the Israelis do. PROFILE. EDUCATED HIGHLY PAID EMPLOYEES DOING THE SECURITY WORK. DUDES WITH F'ING MACHINE GUNS SITTING AT THE COCKPIT DOOR.

 

Yes, me saying it in caps makes it more true.

 

All this technical crap is just window dressing, it won't really help and I'm sure as a technology platform someone will hack it and you'll see those images on kiddie pron sites.

Amen. Those folks are no joke when it comes to airport/airline security.

i'd break the machine if I walked through it

 

They wont use this machine, they came out with a computer that scans a barcode on your passport. It runs a background check on you and who the fuck knows what else it does...

They will just stick a bomb up their a$$ or in some other orifice. Or have one implanted surgically, and all the nekid scanner pics in the world wont catch it.

Am I missing something?

 

Yes, do the Israelly thing for screening.

 

Bring the kids home from Afganistan and post then on the US borders and on flights coming into the states.

 

Beef up out intelligence and take the bad guys out surgically.

 

Killing a whole family with a missle off a drone is bad press. We have the best snipers and spooks. Both GI and contractor.

 

Ahh! Just call me crazy.
