Exposed: More Lies
Regarding Naked Body Scanners
If there's a need for "privacy sensitive"
machines, the ones already in the airports that we cannot
refuse to be put through are illegal

 The
announcement of the invention of a new type of body screening
machinery, that does not show detailed naked images of the person
it scans, highlights the fact that the public was grossly misled
over the scanners now in place in airports the world over.
"With full body searches becoming the norm at airports
amid terror threats, a Canadian engineer has invented a three-dimensional
scanner that doesn't violate passengers' privacy." reports
IBN Live in Toronto.
"The new 3D scanner developed by Montreal-based William
Awad highlights metal or organic material on a human body without
showing the body outline under clothing, according to reports."
the article continues.
"But the current scanners at airports produce a three-dimensional
outline of the human body, raising a hue and cry over privacy
violations."
The Canadian inventor of the new machine, currently seeking
certification from the Transportation Security Administration
(TSA) in the US, expects sales to balloon. But if we are to
believe our governments' statements on the original scanning
machines, there should be no need for any new privacy sensitive
machine at all.
Apologists for the scanners have routinely described the images
they produce as “ghostly” or “skeletal”
in an effort to downplay the intrusion of privacy they really
represent.
The passenger's face is blurred and the image as a whole "resembles
a fuzzy negative," the TSA
spokeswoman Kristin Lee told the media last year,
prior to the underwear bombing attempt.
"It covers up the dirty bits," James Carafano, a
homeland security expert at the conservative Heritage Foundation
told
the Washington Post in January.
Former Department of Homeland Security official Stewart Verdery
also dismissed
the notion that the machines produce detailed naked
images, describing them as not "the type of image that
is going to make a thirteen year old boy very excited".
Manchester Airport in the UK has
also rejected claims that the scanners invade privacy,
claiming that because they use X-rays "they do not make
an image".
The corporate
media would even have us believe that being subjected
to the scanning machines actually “enhances privacy”.
In an editorial last month, titled “There’s
nothing to fear from the use of full-body scanners at airports",
The Washington Post poo-pooed privacy concerns and stated that
the images produced by the scanners are fuzzy and blurred.
These consistent claims are clearly contradicted by readily
available examples of the body scanning images that show high
quality detail of naked male and female bodies.
Journalists who researched trials of the technology reported
that the images made
genitals “eerily visible”.
German Security advisor Hans-Detlef Dau, a representative for
a company that sells the scanners, admits
that the machines, “show intimate piercings,
catheters and the form of breasts and penises”.
Images
on the TSA’s own website produced by backscatter
devices also show that genitals are visible.
The claims that sensitive body parts will be blurred out is
also bunkem. When they were first being installed, Australian
authorities admitted that the machines don’t
work properly if sensitive areas of the body are blurred out
– a fact that the British
government later also admitted:
Cheryl Johnson, general manager of the Office of Transport
Security, said:' It will show the private parts of people,
but what we've decided is that we're not going to blur those
out, because it severely limits the detection capabilities.
'
Perhaps most significant is the fact that if there is a need
for new "privacy sensitive" machines,
it serves as an admission that the scanners currently in place
are in
breach of child pornography laws and the images
produced by them tantamount to criminal evidence.
