CNN: Airport Scanners "Can store & send images"...

I told you so.

You can't believe a single word these SOB's say...

"Body scanners can store, send images, group says."

Washington (CNN) -- A privacy group says the Transportation
Security Administration is misleading the public with claims
that full-body scanners at airports cannot store or send their
graphic images.

The TSA specified in 2008 documents that the machines must
have image storage and sending abilities, the Washington-based
Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) said.

In the documents, obtained by the privacy group and provided
to CNN, the TSA specifies that the body scanners it purchases
must have the ability to store and send images when in "test
mode."

That requirement leaves open the possibility the machines --
which can see beneath people's clothing -- can be abused by
TSA insiders and hacked by outsiders, said EPIC Executive
Director Marc Rotenberg.

EPIC, a public-interest group focused on privacy and civil
rights, obtained the technical specifications and vendor
contracts through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

The written requirements also appear to contradict numerous
assurances the TSA has given the public about the machines'
privacy protections.

These scanners will be networked the same way the telephone
and cable systems are - to the NSA.

Your naked body scans will be permanently data based with all
other biometric data you may have on file, from blood and DNA
samples taken from newborn babies at birth, to fingerprints,
and biometric facial scans done at BMV's for the new drivers
licenses. This is all 100% confirmed. I was also told, but
this isn't confirmed, that they want to also data base
"voice prints" on everyone as well.

Have you seen the NSA's new super data center being built?

$2 billion for this new 1 million sq. ft. facility, near
Salt Lake City, Utah, at Camp Williams, and they're
enlarging facilities in Maryland, and Texas.
