This is one time I actually agree with the ACLU...tho I can't believe they aren't raising more of a stink over this one:
While it allows the security screeners -- looking at the images in a separate room -- to clearly see the passenger's sexual organs as well as other details of their bodies, the passenger's face is blurred, TSA said in a statement on its website.
"People have no idea how graphic the images are," [said] Barry Steinhardt, director of the technology and liberty program at the American Civil Liberties Union.
The ACLU said in a statement that passengers expecting privacy underneath their clothing "should not be required to display highly personal details of their bodies such as evidence of mastectomies, colostomy appliances, penile implants, catheter tubes and the size of their breasts or genitals as a pre-requisite to boarding a plane."
Besides masking their faces, the TSA says on its website, the images made "will not be printed stored or transmitted."
Oh really? Come on, we're not that stupid. We know this technology will become corrupted. We know the scanners will be laughing, talking about people, comparing people, making jokes about passengers, etc. Personally, I welcome security, but this crosses a major line. I don't want people seeing all my lumps and bumps! (bad enough I have to see them every day!) And 'blurred faces' in the scans will also be corrupted some day by just a software update. Of course, they'll tell us that they need to track facial scans under the guise of 'security purposes' so if there ever is another 9/11, they can backtrack to any possible clues or suspects.
Yep, just wait till Big Brother Scanning Version 2.0, because it is coming.

Religious, Financial, Scientific, Social, Political, and Technological events hurtling us toward the TRIBULATION (Matthew 24, Revelation). Time is short. JUDGEMENT is coming. The MARK of the BEAST is imminent. You MUST be saved! ABCs of Salvation: A-ADMIT OR ACKNOWLEDGE your need for a Savior (Romans 3:10) B-BELIEVE that Jesus Christ came and died for your sins (Acts 16:31) C-CALL ON the name of Jesus and you WILL be Saved (Romans 10:13)
Demonic forces causing manifestations?
Very creepy video 'virus' on the web:
Granted it's the Sun, of course, but it's also on YouTube and others as well. Very odd video. It seems to be legit, but it's so bumpy and unclear in spots it's hard to follow. But the first segment where the creature shows itself in front of the hills behind it, and the fact that it's very CLOSE to the photographer, unlike the usual UFO sightings, makes it very strange indeed.
Are demonic powers manifesting into something even more "real" to fool even more people the closer we get to the return of Christ?
