Do you have any source of them passing around any images? Are they even able to do that without in-depth knowledge of the system?

- gnud 10y agoI suspect the in-depth knowledge might consist of 'taking a photo of the screen'.
- jordigh 10y agoThe stories are not hard to find: https://epic.org/privacy/litigation/apa/tsa/bodyscanner/ https://epic.org/privacy/litigation/apa/tsa/bodyscanner/ I'm pretty sure that even if they couldn't get the actual images out of the machine, they can easily take a picture of the image with their mobile cameras.

- leesalminen 10y agoCouldn't the TSA agent viewing these images take a picture with their smartphone? That's just off the top of my head. I'm more curious about any research into health effects of millimeter wave scans? My business partner always opts out claiming this but could never provide evidence.
- jordigh 10y agoThere is nothing definitive, but in 2006 people thought there might be: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1673553/?reload=true&tp=&arnumber=1673553&url=http:%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fxpls%2Fabs_all.jsp%3Farnumber%3D1673553 http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1673553/?reload=true&tp=... I haven't heard of any conclusive evidence that it doesn't harm either (and how could there be one, since they haven't been used for that long), but why take the risk in the first place
