You know it's funny this morning before school I was going to write about the individual here in San Diego and how he refused to go through the body scanner and refused a hand search, in that story I was going to stand up the use of the body scanner but before I could get started writing it my son Jesiah woke up and distracted me so the writing never got done, well thank heavens because look what we have here.

In the post I was going to do earlier today I was somewhat going to lash out at John Tyner the individual here in San Diego, first of all to say that the manufacturer of this machine and the US government has both told us that images cannot be stored in any way on these scanners, an secondly to tell John that I think that he never had any intention of getting on this flight in the first place and was hoping for something good he could post on the Internet, especially when he refused the pat down, he knew you had to go through security to get on a plane, so honestly I don't think he planned to get on the airplane in the first place.  Now look his Youtube video has gone viral and he's made front page news on almost every newspaper and news web service, he's been on CNN, Fox, MSNBC, and even BBC, and other world media sites, so he got what he was after.

OK now what I want to do is address this issue of the body scanners, it seems that once again the public has been lied to, after being told that images could never be stored from body scanners we find out that is a lie.  It turns out that some US Marshall's in a court house somewhere found a way to store around 35, 000 images.  The model these US Marshall's were using was a different model than what the TSA is reacquiring airports to install, and is actually considered the "less embarrassing machine" because it show less detail of the body than the models going to the airports.

Even though these the machine the images were saved on is different than the ones going to the airport, according to the manufactures and TSA came out in early August of this year and claimed that "body-scanner images cannot be stored or recorded in any way", now we just have to wait for TSA to come out and say that did not pertain to the machines currently in use, or something like that because they will have to find a way to cover up this lie somehow.
