Body scanner saved 35,000 'naked' images

At the heart of the controversy over “body scanners” is a promise: The images of our naked bodies will never be public. U.S. Marshals in a Florida Federal courthouse saved 35,000 images on their scanner. These are those images.

A Gizmodo investigation has revealed 100 of the photographs saved by the Gen 2 millimeter wave scanner from Brijot Imaging Systems, Inc., obtained by a FOIA request after it was recently revealed that U.S. Marshals operating the machine in the Orlando, Florida courthouse had improperly-perhaps illegally-saved images of the scans of public servants and private citizens.

So much for not being able to store, print, transmit or save the image. If you believe that, you’ll believe anything … idiots.

A must read! Also note the pictures which tend to show that these things have extremely high radiation output.

I’m pinging you to this thread because ‘more info the better’.

We’ve been lied to (again). Is Napolitano capable of telling the truth?

how safe for a cancer survivor who already received max radiation? Trust the govt ? No

I still can’t believe a courthouse has one of these. How many bombings or attempts were carried out on a frickin courthouse?

I heard on the radio yesterday, and had a hunch, that some senior Dem who had ties to the company was responsible for these scanners being purchased. A dog or chemical detection device would be cheaper and more reliably used.

The government lied to the citizens! What a surprise!

i heard chertoff owns the scanner co. But have not had time to verify if that is correct .

I don’t think the radiation from these devices would be a good thing in either instance. I certainly would not expose myself if I was either pregnant, had cancer, had been treated for cancer, or had other treatment that included high doses of radiation.

My husband, who for most of his working life was a very frequent flyer was just found to have a tumor. Due to location, the only sure way to know whether it is malignent or not is to do surgery. One way or the other, he certainly needs to avoid unncessary exposure.

Years ago I worked at a nuclear power plant - walked through multiple scanners a minimum of twice a day. Didn’t give it a thought, but lately I’ve given it much thought. I am uncomfortable with how many of my co-workers from that period of have had some form of cancer.
