I'd add to this, repeatedly lying about what the scanners can do. I'm copying my own post from Aug 4 of this year (http://randomdreams.livejournal.com/473419.html): "Remember how they said the machines were unable to actually record and store the images (http://tech.slashdot.org/story/08/04/21/0253209/JFK-LAX-To-Test-Millimeter-Wave-Scanners)? Of course they lied about that. Remember how they said well the machines CAN store and transmit images, but only when in test mode (http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/01/11/1950206/Airport-Scanners-Can-Store-and-Transmit-Images)? Of course they lied about that, too (http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/08/04/1530224/Denials-Aside-Feds-Storing-Body-Scan-Images)">
So at this point they could propose saving kittens by handing out $100 bills to everyone, and I'd *still* oppose them just because they have a track record of being lying weasels.
