How could "storing child pictures from the x-ray scanner" every qualify as child porn?!
- swombat 16y agoThey're pictures of naked children. If an underage teenager texting a naked picture of themselves qualifies as a child pornographer, a TSA employee storing pictures of a naked child certainly does too.
- c1sc0 16y agoDoesn't mean it is right though. Wikipedia: "Pornography or porn is the portrayal of explicit sexual subject matter for the purposes of sexual excitement and erotic satisfaction." How is a simple picture of a naked child explicit or exciting?
- swombat 16y agoSexual excitement and erotic satisfaction are in the eye of the beholder.

- c1sc0 16y agoReally? Pink is porn now? Well, suit you sir, suit you! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amor_Vincit_Omnia_(Caravaggio) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amor_Vincit_Omnia_(Caravaggio)

- rbanffy 16y agoShouldn't you consider fixing the law that considers anything "child pornography" instead of trying to make even more stuff be considered child porn? The example of that unfortunate hentai collector comes to mind.
- SageRaven 16y agoIn a perfect world, yes. But maybe once the feds and their outsourced hands get painted with the same broad brush as the populace, maybe we'll see some of these way-too-broad think-of-the-children laws be tossed out and rewritten to something resembling sane policy.
- pyre 16y agoIt's more likely that the Feds will figure out another way to make themselves immune.

- Vivtek 16y agoOh, sweet Jesus, have you just started reading the Internet today? People have been convicted on child porn charges for pictures they took of their own children in the bathtub. Any picture of any child or any non-child or cartoon character intended just to look like a child has been treated as full-blown pedophilia for the last ten years or more. Computers have been impounded and people ruined - and it's always won't someone think of the children, until it's the TSA doing it and that's just hunky-dory because we have to stay safe at any possible cost. I have to go have a little lie-down now, the grar is melting my brain.
