Hardly "naked". I think the uproar about this isn't what can be seen, but the future of this. If we can see blobs of people as public images on the internet, if it ever does get to be "naked" then it could be bad.
At this point, I really wouldn't give a rip if someone published an image of my "naked" blob.

- jonhendry 16y agoIt may be that this scanner setup has a way to save the images, because they're so blobby and indistinct, but which was removed from the newer model because of the higher fidelity images. The older tech... who cares if they save images, because you can't see anything. It probably wouldn't occur to me that it would be a privacy violation for someone to see pictures that make everyone look like a Star Wars Stormtrooper.
