Big brother, otherwise known as the Department of Homeland Security, is using the latest airport security breakdown to implement their new airport x-ray scanning equipment that will photograph you and your children naked! You heard right! The new super high tech x-ray machine is in the last stages of being rolled out into every U.S. airport and has but one setting- to take a high resolution color photograph of you and your children beneath your clothing. Airport employees will undoubtedly become the new kings of child porn as you and your children's naked photographs can and will find their way onto internet porno websites.

would break child pornography laws, specifically the Protection of Children Act 1978, under which it is illegal to create an indecent image or a %u201Cpseudo-image%u201D of a child. %u201CThey do not have the legal power to use full body scanners in this way,%u201D said Terri Dowty, of Action for Rights of Children, adding there was an exemption in the 1978 law to cover the %u201Cprevention and detection of crime%u201D but the purpose had to be more specific than the %u201Ctrawling exercise%u201D now being considered,%u201D reports the Guardian.
Those vigorously pushing for the widespread rollout of body scanners in the aftermath of the highly suspicious Christmas Day bombing attempt have been found to have their own financial motives. "Since the attempted bombing of a US airliner on Christmas Day, former Homeland Security secretary Michael Chertoff has given dozens of media interviews touting the need for the federal government to buy more full-body scanners for airports,%u201D
reports the Boston Globe. %u201CWhat he has made little mention of is that the Chertoff Group, his security consulting agency, includes a client that manufactures the machines. Chertoff disclosed the relationship on a CNN program Wednesday.
Approaching the issue from a health angle, despite official assurances that the scanners are safe, there are many concerns about the physical impact of firing radiation at the body, especially if the individual has had previous x-ray scans, mammograms, or is a frequent flyer.
