Writes a friend:

More evidence the nude scanners are not about safety; they’re about enabling the ruling class to lord it over the rest of us.

“‘Why not just distort the image into something grotesque so that there isn’t anything titillating or exciting about it?’ asks [Bill] Wattenburg [who helped design the scanners], adding that the modification is so simple that ‘a 6-year-old could do the same thing with Photoshop…It’s probably a few weeks’ modification of the program.’ Wattenburg said he was rebuffed when he offered the concept to Department of Homeland Security officials four years ago.”
