talkpoliticsThere is a rumor going around that you can reverse the images on the TSA Scans to get a clear naked picture... This is still a rumor (Hoax) but there are already people claiming this can be done (real or not, if the technology gets better, this could be our future).
With photo editing software on any computer (like Microsoft Paint), you can easily turn it into a very realistic, nude photograph.
When I first got an e-mail from some of my libertarian colleagues here in Nashville who discovered this, I was skeptical. I thought the “reversed image” made from the negative must have been photo-shopped. So I took the image from DrudgeReportArchives myself, pasted it into Microsoft Paint, clicked “Image” in the menu at the top, and clicked “Invert colors.”
How does that help us the war on terror? Not much since the scanners still fail to pick up other dangerous items (you know what works better than these porno machines? Trained dogs.) But hey, at least we get naked pictures for the low low price of our dignity (with the price tag of $39.7 million, minus the $4.3 million on lobbying spending)
