Although THIS story happened in England, we are using the same scanners here in the US.
I cannot find a transcript of her testimony yet, but I do remember watching parts of it. Napolitano said recently in testimony before Congress that the body scanners here in the US _cannot_ print or store or transmit images. >From another story: "Federal officials say the machines will blur your face and groin area. The machines will not store, print, transmit or send your image. It must be deleted by the operator before another image will appear. " If that turns out to be false, then the 18 scanners already installed and in place need to be rethought, and Janet needs to do a huge mea culpa, and apologize to all of the travelers that have been scanned, trusting her assurances on how the systems work. Currently, we have been assured that cannot happen. Currently, the full body scans in the US are optional. (a full body search can be opted for instead). But, the reason Napolitano was testifying before congress last month was the Christmas bomber, and her contention that full mandatory body scan machines would have prevented that bombing attempt.
