Sec. Napolitano says airport full-body scanners 'do not see everything' By Sean J. Miller - 03/26/10 06:14 AM ET

PHOENIX, Ariz. – Privacy concerns shouldn’t hinder the rapid deployment of controversial full-body scanners at American airports, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Thursday.

“Some have expressed concerns about these [advanced imaging technology] machines – that they infringe upon privacy,” Napolitano told students and faculty at Arizona State University. “But suffice it to say, many of those worries have been spurred by the continued publication of photos that were taken using older versions of the technology, not the technology that’s actually being deployed today.”

Critics of the machines have said they amount to a technological strip-search.

Napolitano insisted that her department does take privacy concerns “into account.” The Transportation Security Administration officer reading the image is now separated from the person being scanned, Napolitano said. “And I can confirm, no, the [scanning] machines do not see everything.”

So, Madam Secretary, just as a sign of good faith, let’s round up all of the sex offenders within 50 miles of your home and then let you demonstrate this machine in front of them. We’ll be sure to tell them that no one will hurt them if they choose to comment on what they see.

The resolution on the pictures from these scanners is muted when reported in the news. The pervs and pedophiles must be lining up for these TSA jobs.

Janet likes the Mexican approach of using Military resources to fight gangs (In other words, civilians rounded up by the military on their own soil)

Didn't Sony recall the First Night Shots because they functions as a body scanner? I saw an article on how this was was done. He demonstrated with a picture of a maniac and there were privacy concerns. it could also read documents blacked out with a magic marker.

I remember that. I also remember hating myself for waiting too long to buy one! Seems like by the time word got out, they had already pulled them from the shelves. Too bad. lol

I sure hope she doesn’t step in front of one of these scanners to prove it.

I wish she would (goose/gander thingy). The headline photo on the Drudge Report would be priceless!

Why can’t they use the scanners that translate the images to stick figures? I’ve heard they work just as well.
