Naked Body Scanner Images Of Film Star Printed, Circulated By Airport Staff...

Claims on behalf of authorities that naked body scanner images are immediately destroyed after passengers pass through new x-ray backscatter devices have been proven fraudulent after it was revealed that naked images of Indian film star Shahrukh Khan were printed out and circulated by airport staff at Heathrow in London

You know....you don’t have to “clear” a dog. Dogs are dam good at doing searches. How much do these machines cost? I bought a good German Shepherd.....Price: $1500.00. Training to be a sniffer or search dog....Maybe $2000.00. The Puffer machines TSA wants cost $150,000.00 and maintenance is super high. Sounds to me like someone is in the back pocket of the companies producing these machines. Keep it simple stupid.

Just another reason why I will not fly anymore. If I can’t drive there, too bad for the economy.

TSA personnel were background checked. The FAA used to have FBI background checks on all new employees and many were cleared for different levels of Security Clearances. They have allowed an assortment of criminals into the TSA so the checks were not perfect. Passing confidential material can be a big crime so all they have to do is throw the violators in prison.

“Access to relevant intelligence helps officers spot anomalies at the checkpoint — and helps them connect the potential dots,” the spokesman said. “It gives these employees the opportunity to exercise discretion based on their awareness of tactics and threats in the transportation environment and gives context to things they see every day which may otherwise not appear unusual.”

The most visible TSA employees — those who screen passenger bags at check points — will not have the security clearance.”

So the anomalies will be publicized - and the money wasted. I agree - bring on the sniffer pups.

Ya think?

Ya think SOMEONE that builds these might somehow have had “arranged” an outrageous sequence of events that culminated Christmas Day..including a fortunate fizzle?
