The story seems innocuous on its face; “Coming Soon: Body Scanners at JFK, Newark, LaGuardia” but what lay just beneath the surface is a bit more unsettling.

These body scanners the TSA have been using are all the rage; “rage” because “the technology allows security screeners to see non-metal weapons like explosives that go undetected by existing metal detectors” and this is a very good thing…right? So why is it that, by accident (allegedly), we’re told now that the images of our glorious naked bodies are being stored somewhere in some obscure database that the Fed insists was created (and grows) purely because of some hiccup in the system(s)?

Inquiring minds want to know…so we start with this:

William Bordley, an associate general counsel with the Marshals Service, acknowledged in the letter that “approximately 35,314 images…have been stored on the Brijot Gen2 machine” used in the Orlando, Fla. federal courthouse.

35,314 images stored from one town in one court house. Hmm… Safe because our Federal Law Enforcement institution can be trusted with our privacy? Harmless? I don’t think so, when you consider this:

In addition, Bordley wrote, a Millivision machine was tested in the Washington, D.C. federal courthouse but it was sent back to the manufacturer, which now apparently possesses the image database.

Great news-Fed issue, Fed use, returned to the private sector…naked grandma pics in tow…owned now (and likely already put on a soft porn website somewhere) by a private entity and used to whatever extent the owners choose.

Look out, New York – watch YouTube for the latest update of your nakedness live and online.
