The “nude scanners” are gone.

The full-body scanners that used X-rays to create what looks like a nude image of passengers have been packed away and removed from airports across the country. The 250 or so machines were removed about two weeks ago, before the June 1 deadline set by Congress.

And how many millions of dollars will this cost and has this cost we taxpayers? Old Skunk Head Janet Napolitano is probably very disappointed that she won’t be able to get a scrapbook of naked women any more.

The actual dose delivered to the victims was NEVER stated.

The location to where the pictures went (think IRS ->soros)
is unclear, too.

The profits of the company have been
split between the company and Congress.

Let me, if I may, correct that: Old Skunk Head Janet Napolitano is probably very disappointed that she won’t be able to get a scrapbook of naked women little ten and under pre puberty girls any more.

If any can show me where I am wrong in accusing Janet Napolitano of being a perverted lesbian child abuser, I am open for the proof.

you have the absolute right to refuse the radiation scanner of your body. The medical risks exceed the lobbiest claims.

See the useless puffers.

I have yet to see any articles about the multitudes of potential terrorists discovered, apprehended and put in jail by the machines. Is it almost as many as the number of eighty and eight year old potential airplane bombers successfully groped by deviant TSA employees?

Who needs TSA scanners? X-ray goggles have been around for a long time:
