Senators demand answers on saved body scans and privacy protections (...till it's off the front pages)

"Senators said they were "disturbed" by reports U.S. Marshals have saved more than 35,000 body scan images from a Florida courthouse, according to a letter sent Friday. "
------
Note: The senators are disturbed all right.

No - not because of the violation of privacy of the public. They are just plain disturbed. After all - if such trivial issues as privacy of the public mattered to such elitists they wouldn't be using Israeli companies run by crooks as middlemen for the NSA to spy on Americans. They would have said more when an American 19-year-old was killed by Israelis on a Gaza peace ship. They would have said more when we embarked on a "war on terror" which really doesn't mean anything. They would protect freedom of speech with the same religious fervor they unfortunately reserve only for the wishes of their AIPAC puppetmasters - to the detriment of the rights of We The People. These Senators - these public serpents - are nothing but venal politicians posing for a photo op.

But now that the bloggers kept the pressure on and the truth is coming out about the naked body scanners- that is - that the images are stored-it's time for the sell-out politicians to put on a big show to pretend they are champions of the people. (After all how stupid/disturbed does a person have to be to think that the images are not stored - what are they gonna' do if they find a gun on someone - NOT save the picture as evidence to bring to court?) Meanwhile - the perverts that rammed this sick tech down the public's throat stack more gold in their vaults. Lieberman. Hah! I'd rather have the "cowardly lion" fighting for my rights rather than Lieberman - because I have more respect for a coward than a traitor.

The senators are out of touch with the public, reality, rationality and technology. They do not share the "common sense" that the rest of us do because they haven't said a word about the fact that some of the images saved - if all images were saved - must be of the genitals of children. Somewhere some of the saved images must be child porn - that is - if definitions mattered any more. First they told us NO images would be saved. Now they tell us 35,000 images are stored. Are we to think this is the whole truth rather than the tip of an iceberg? I may have been born at night but I wasn't born last night.

No it doesn't matter who took the pictures - as they will try to convince you. You can't say - hey - we are from the TSA and we stored pictures of your child's naked body so that makes it OK. No on the contrary it makes it even worse. Have you seen the TSA worker-force at an airport lately? The people on their way to somewhere who bought an airline ticket are under the control of a bunch of people who have nowhere to go and cannot afford an airline ticket. I met one security guy at an airport who told me he'd never been on an airplane. Does that matter? I dunno but something is upside-down here.

But even more damning may be the images of the genitals of Senator (Israel) Joseph Lieberman - because they are clamped in a vise with a lock that only the leaders of AIPAC have a key for.

This naked body scanner issue is not funny. It is yet another sick encroachment toward the complete domination of Americans - more humiliating crap - basically forcing the public to suffer the same violations one would expect as an "inmate" at a prison or insane asylum.

We are at a point where it is time to stop letting the nuts run the nut house. What will come of this story - will anyone pay for lying earlier assuring the public that the images were NOT being saved?

Don't let the smokescreen media deflect your attention. Follow the story - see what comes of it over time. If you still have faith in the phony electronic elections - perhaps it will change your mind as to who to vote for - as if that mattered.

Video: Mom upset about daughter's full body security scan experience

"Her 12-year-old daughter, whom she did not want to appear on camera, was at Tampa International Airport on vacation with a family friend when a TSA officer chose her.

"It's an image of a nude child that they're seeing. This is child pornography whether people want to believe this or not. How is this any different," said Nemphos. "

Note: It seems to me that the best place to work if you are a pedophile is at the TSA since there is no penalty for viewing child porn - an activity that otherwise would be criminal. Legally viewing child porn as a TSA "naked body scanner" operator may be the perfect cover,and a life-saver, since convicted pedophiles get murdered in prison. This TSA job is a "stay out of jail free card" for those interested in viewing naked children.

The war on terror has finally transformed America into a police state where obedient and docile robots are expected to obey any command of "authority figures" immediately and without question. The penalty for asserting one's rights - or even applying common sense can range from travel delays to Tasering, from arrest to being shot.

We cannot continue to pretend that a person in a uniform gawking at the naked body of a twelve-year-old girl is "protecting" the girl or the country. One can certainly conclude that a TSA person viewing their naked 12-year-old daughter is NOT protecting that daughter from pedophiles. Child porn is child porn.

Don't fool yourselves - the very people that want to look at naked kids are going to be attracted to these "jobs" allowing them to legally look at your naked kids - and some of them WILL get through.

So where is your limit? Will you obey when it is your child's turn?

Prisoners forced to submit to radiation experiments for private foreign companies

"In Illinois, federal judges have allowed at least two lawsuits to proceed against correctional officials for using full body scanners to reveal the anatomy of both prisoners and visitors without removing their clothing. This is the very same device that airports are seeking to implement on some inbound flights to the United States."

Note: Experiments on prisoners - nice. Rings a bell...

What are the Naked Body Scanners really for?

HOW CAN OUR GOVERNMENT TRACK EVERYONE RELIABLY?

In light of recent news that Naked Body scanners are to to be installed at more airports the question comes to mind - Why?

As a "conspiracy theorist" I can't help but question why the United States government - whose primary purpose is to protect my rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness would spray me, my loved ones, and your children with radiation of an unknown danger exposing our most private areas in the process. I've seen the images and agree with many critics of the technology that in the case of children they should be banned simply from a child pornography perspective.

Although the TSA website claims:
" Advanced imaging technology is safe and meets national health and safety standards.
Backscatter technology was evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), the National Institute for Science and Technology (NIST), and the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL).
All results confirmed that the radiation doses for the individuals being screened, operators, and bystanders were well below the dose limits specified by the American National Standards Institute.
For comparison, the energy projected by millimeter wave technology is 10,000 times less than a cell phone transmission.
A single scan using backscatter technology produces exposure equivalent to two minutes of flying on an airplane."

I am not impressed. As a person who has worked as a manufacturers engineer on medical equipment that produces radiation for imaging purposes I was taught that the most effective protection against radiation is DISTANCE. This means - don't get irradiated in the first place. Period. In fact it is considered good practice while in an X-ray imaging situation to stand behind another person while X-ray radiation is being produced. You are trained to do that. Now we are asked to simply stand in a radiation bath - and don't worry the dose is minimal. What about the cumulative dose?

But I have further suspicions - and I'm going to go out on a limb here just because this is my "conspiracy theory" and I can make it as big as I want to - perhaps you will find it worthy of consideration?

Our security-obsessed government is intent on tracking each and every individual as if they are guilty until proven innocent - that's the un-American trend whether you wish to admit it or not. But this is not an easy task since there are many technical hurdles for engineers to overcome in providing such monitoring capability to their paymasters. One hurdle I would expect is proving difficult to overcome is the identification of individuals using remote cameras since the cameras can pick up an image - but must decode the image and then try to match it up with the person from whom the image was taken.

When trying to identify a fingerprint the same problem exists - and for a long time presented a hurdle for law enforcement since although fingerprints may have been collected at a crime scene - there may not be a matching set in their database. Further complicating matters is the matching process - where highly trained specialists would have to pore through volumes of fingerprint images in search for a match. Enter the computer.

There are companies that provide fingerprint identification systems that take the time-consuming part out of the fingerprint matching process - and national systems synchronized using the miracle of the internet can link departments across the globe instantly performing scans of known prints versus newly lifted prints - matches can be found quickly - provided there is a "known" set of prints with which the system can make a match.

NAKED BODY SCANNERS

It seems feasible to me that our protectors can easily expand on the fingerprint identification system to identify persons at a distance using cameras, RFID chip-reading technology and a database of "known" images from Naked Body scanners.

By scanning people at airports the images can be stored and keyed to the person from whom they were acquired simply by sychronizing the image acquistion simultaneously with a reading from the multiple RFID chips one now carries around in their drivers license (or NATIONAL ID CARD), credit card or other place. This match would ensure that the images were "known" samples from a specific individual and can then be easily stored in a database.

Facial Recognition Cameras mounted everywhere in todays world would now capture images live - then by using the massive computing speed and power of the internet - especially the NEWER VIDEO-FRIENDLY INTERNET provide real-time tracking of just about everyone - by using the database of images stored with positive identification information simply by finding matches with stored images in the "known" database previously acquired.

Airports would not place a limit on this capability since there are presently commercially available systems with capability to do this job surreptitiously and in volume - here's a sample from the link:

" Corridor system that can be deployed overtly or covertly
High volume throughput capacity of up to 900 people per hour"

Since practically everyone carries RFID chips - a hidden corridor system synchronized with an RFID reading system could read and store that many images - eventually capturing the data of almost the entire population - especially by synchronizing data capture with events where all citizens were required to show up - for one reason or the other.

The final question is - what are they really doing with all the images? If they are being stored perhaps this is why.

CONCLUSION

I know they are from the government - but are they really here to help?
