Comment on Looks legit, but can it actually be a real thing?

The hair can disguise the tuck. Then again, any body hair will be visible, so everything must pass. It’s close to a black and white naked photo from the front and the back that is a tiny bit blurry.

So TSA is practically seeing everyone naked? Is that for real?

Naaah, they don’t see it, but the machine can. Apparently they see a SW generated outline.

Here on wikipedia it says they don’t, because the software is automated and only displays a blurred image.

But the raw data of every single American who had flown does exist. The government has a database of every tattoo, mole, and genital of everyone who has ever used an airplane.

I like to force them to touch me personally. That way I at least get something out of this bullshit.

What's the point of scanning someone at that level of precision if they can't even see it. Seems pretty pointless to me.
