TSA Airport Body Scanners See Under Clothes
“Do you have any naked pictures of your mother? No, want some? The TSA has some!”
I can’t believe people are standing for this. Now with the latest attempted terrorist attack of the “Fruit Of The BOOM” bomber they are trying to rush through the installation of these airport body scanners. These scanner are nothing more than mobile porn studios for the perverts at the TSA.
Here are some excerpts of an article here from the Daily Mail that describes what the full body scanners will be able to see.
New ‘strip search’ full body scanners being trialled in Australia will show people’s private parts, officials have admitted.
The X-ray backscatter body scanner has been described by critics as a “virtual strip search.”
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. ‘
‘It is possible to see genitals and breasts while they’re going through the machine, though,’ she admitted
“It does see through clothing, but it’s not a photographic image, it’s a low-energy X-ray that reflects off the skin,” added Ms Johnson.
Oh really, is not a photographic image? OK, let’s do a little experiment. What we have done here is take a blurred out sample released by the press, not the high resolution pics these scanners actually take and just simply inverted the photograph.

I think the picture speaks for itself. Remember this is with a blurred image, not the high res scan these machines actually take.
According to Cheryl Johnson,’The images are not saved, you literally walk through, the screener hits a button to say clear and the image goes.”
Oh really, the TSA agent has to push a button to clear it huh? Yeah, OK. That will happen I am sure.
What do you think one of these photos of Angelina Jolie or any other celebrity would go for on the market. You think these TSA agents will all be able to resist the temptation to make a few bucks?
Let’s face it, these people are not the brightest of the bunch. We have all seen them strip searching granny while a guy with a turban and sandals gets waved right through.
Here is another thing to think about. Does this count as child pornography? Would you let your child go through this scanner and have some pervert pedophile TSA agent viewing them and drooling on his keyboard?
There are so many ways to go with this. I read a story recently that parents were not allowed to bring cameras or take photos of their children at school sporting events to protect against pedophiles, but if it’s the government taking naked pictures of your kids, that’s alright?
Avery – Ok, for the people who think this is what a TSa body scan looks like, your WRONG! For of all, in the first picture, the woman is wearing a braclet on her right arm. In the “body scan” images, you dont see it. Second: Her legs and arms are in a differnt position from the original photo. Lastly, Hair wont show up in a realy body scan.
frozenjim – I have to call this one. I have googled every TSA image I can find and run them all through the “invert” process; NONE of them come out even close to the quality of this one.
My conclusion is that this is a classic urban legend.
You can prove it to yourself easily, take any TSA image and in Photoshop (or Gimp for Linux users) just click the “invert” button – that’s it. It works perfectly only on THIS image which, I suspect was a photo of a naked woman and then INVERTED to look like a TSA image.
Scam. This kind of false-flag info is almost classic cointelpro: make us all look like morons for falling for fake “conspiracy theory” crap.
Be careful of what you believe – from either side.
Aaron Kulkis – it IS a hoax — there are four GLARING faults that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the image is a hoax. That bought into this reveals you’re far more gullible than you think, or that you jumped onto this to support some other agenda, or to justify your emotional reaction to the whole thing.
I’m not going to rely on circumstantial evidence of the photos being stock photos that already exist on the net… I can do FAR better than that, with affirmative proof that what is presented is counterfeit.
PROOF OF COUNTERFEITING #1: The supposed X-ray not only shows counter, but is even tri-tone (light, shadow, and sepia/skin-tone).
PROOF OF COUNTERFEITING #2:
Look at the full color image. Note how the the woman’s jeans form-fit perfectly around the inside of her upper thighs and pelvis. Particularly, note the inverted triangle of “empty” space bounded by the very top of her nner thighs, and the pubic area. In the full-color image, you this area is COMPLETELY UNOBSTRUCTED.
Now note that the supposed X-ray image on the right shows the barrel of the pistol COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTING the same line of sight.
Therefore, these images were NOT made at the same time — which directly contradicts what you would do if you were taking “demonstration” images.
This alone indicates that the supposed “x-ray image” was ACTUALLY the product of adding in the pistol and knife images to a photo of a nude female (either before or after inverting it to make a reverse-tone image).
PROOF OF COUNTERFEITING #3:
Hair. Backscatter images do NOT show hair.
If Backscatter images actually DID show hair, then all you would need to do is wear wool (sheep hair) clothing to hide anything you want behind it — which would ELIMINATE the controversy, because then you “help help, perverts at TSA want to see my [whatever]” would have to do no more than wear an article of wool clothing in the areas of concern, even OUTSIDE of their undergarments.
PROOF OF COUNTERFEITING #4 — the most damning off all.
X-Rays do not detect skin color, where as this supposed x-ray image CLEARLY shows the darker skin color around the nipples.
Please show us an example of a single x-ray of a hand which shows variations in skin color (such as the gripping surfaces of the fingers and palms of people of African descent, or any one with either freckles or age-spots on their hands).
The fact is, you can’t, because x-rays aren’t influenced by melanin by that much of an extent, yet in THIS set of images, the melanin around the nipple has some super-powerful influence on X-rays.
Case closed — the image set a counterfeit and fraudulent, made for the purpose of disinformation.

The original source of the images identified.
vigrx plus – this is really a great post.. very informative
Z Hammerhead – It’s not like that automatic wouldn’t show up in a metal detecter anyway… even shoved in her crack. Why is every supposed scanner image being shown shows an obvious gun that would show up with a wanding. Show what a legitimate concern (something a regular search wouldn’t show) would or could look like.
Yerp – These photos are not from actual airport scanners. They are CGI photos, can’t even compare…
admin – Yeah, They already proved that these pics are not the actual body scans from the TSA.
One question you have to ask now is, Do the scanners actually detect explosives that are molded right to the body so that an image will not detect them. All the body scans seem to do is detect guns and metal just like a regular metal detector would. So why have them?
Maybe the guy who use to be the Homeland Security Cheif that now runs the scanner company may have something to do with it. Don’t you think?
John – Bullshit. Why are her arms out in the scan, and by her side in the pic. Don’t fuck with me buddy I’ll kill ya.
