The Big Lie that the airport body scanners would show an image that could not be reproduced has been exposed. From Heathrow Airport across the Pond, we get this:

Claims on behalf of authorities that naked body scanner images are immediately destroyed after passengers pass through new x-ray backscatter devices have been proven fraudulent after it was revealed that naked images of Indian film star Shahrukh Khan were printed out and circulated by airport staff at Heathrow in London.

What we have to understand here is that the authorities knew all along what was going to happen, but they lied in order to get the public to fall into this trap. Of course, since the British government requires all flyers to go through this humiliating strip search, there is little doubt that this will happen again and again. (Hat tip to Drudge Report)
