The full body scanners that President Obama last night authorized to be rolled out in airports across the country at a cost of over $1 billion dollars not only produce detailed pictures of your genitals, but once inverted some of those images also display your naked body in full living color.
And you don’t need to be a graphics wizard using a $600 software suite like Photoshop to pull off the trick – inverting a photo is a simple process that takes one click and is an option available even in the most basic image editing software.
We were sent examples of the process by readers and then tested it for ourselves to confirm that simply inverting some of the pictures produced by the body scanners creates a near-perfect replica of a naked body in full color. (SOURCE OF IMAGE).
It is important to stress that this is a low resolution image. Airport screeners will have access to huge high definition images that, once inverted, will allow them to see every minute detail of your body.
The inversion trick doesn’t work for all the sample images produced by body scanners, but with or without its application, every image will still show details of your sexual organs. Even without being inverted, the images already break child porn laws in the UK.
Reassurances that airport screeners won’t be abe to save the images will provide little comfort to parents who know that the crystal clear image of their naked son or daughter being ogled by a TSA thug can merely be snapped with a handheld camera for their enjoyment later.
Apologists for the scanners have routinely described the images they produce as “ghostly” or “skeletal” in an effort to downplay the intrusion of privacy they really represent.
As we reported yesterday, claims that the body scanners did not provide details of genitals were disproven after a London Guardian journalist who was present at a trial for the machines earlier this week reported that the devices produce an image which make “genitals eerily visible.”
German Security advisor Hans-Detlef Dau, a representative for a company that sells the scanners, admits that the machines, “show intimate piercings, catheters and the form of breasts and penises”.

Indeed, as was admitted when the scanners were first being rolled out over a year ago, they don’t function properly if areas of the body are blurred out.
A report from October 2008, when the naked body scanners were first being introduced at Melbourne Airport in Australia, detailed how the X-ray backscatter devices don’t work properly unless the genitals of people going through them are visible.
“It will show the private parts of people, but what we’ve decided is that we’re not going to blur those out, because it severely limits the detection capabilities,” said Office of Transport Security manager Cheryl Johnson.
“It is possible to see genitals and breasts while they’re going through the machine,” she admitted.
TV news reports have been deliberately misleading viewers by blurring out faces and genitals of people in images produced by the scanners. When it comes to the real thing, your sexual organs and those of your children will be on full display to officials sat alone in back rooms, and with a simple inversion trick, your daughter’s naked body in full living high definition color will be there to be enjoyed by screeners.

Passenger forced off Detroit-bound plane after shouting 'I want to kill all the Jews'
By Wil Longbottom Last updated at 9:50 AM on 08th January 2010
Abusive: Mansor Mohammad Asad is alleged to have shouted 'I want to kill all the Jews' on board a flight at Miami airport before he was arrested
An airline passenger has been forced off a Detroit-bound plane and arrested after shouting 'I want to kill all the Jews'.
Miami police said in a statement today that 43-year-old Mansor Mohammad Asad, of Toledo, Ohio, faces several charges including disorderly conduct.
Police say the Northwest Airlines flight was taxiing at Miami International Airport yesterday, but was turned around after Asad became abusive.
Witnesses told authorities he was loud, disruptive and claimed to be Palestinian. They believed he was sometimes speaking Arabic.
The Transportation Security Administration said three of his companions were also taken off the plane and questioned.
The flight later took off after it was searched.
It comes as EU nations remained sharply divided over the need to install full-body scanners at European airports, with some countries playing down the need for increased security measures.
Italy today joined Britain, the U.S. and the Netherlands in announcing plans to install the scanners following the alleged attempt on Christmas Day to blow up an airliner flying from Amsterdam to Detroit.
Washington is seeking enhanced security measures on all transatlantic flights heading to the U.S.
European airports see thousands of passengers on more than 800 flights a day making the trip across the lucrative North Atlantic route.
But Belgium's secretary of state for transport, Etienne Schouppe, described the measures as 'excessive' and said security requirements at European airports were already 'strict enough'.
Spain has also expressed scepticism about the need for body scanners, and the German and French governments remain uncomitted.
Until now, the EU has allowed members states to decide on whether to use body scanners at airport checkpoints.
Divided: EU nations remain undecided on whether it is necessary to install full body scanners at European airports
'Excessive': Some European countries say tight airport security is already strict enough and there are concerns over privacy with full body scanners
In 2008, the EU suspended work regulating the use of body scanners after the European Parliament demanded a more in-depth study of their impact on health and privacy.
Amsterdam's Schipol Airport, where Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab boarded a Detroit-bound plane allegedly carrying explosives sewn into his underwear, has 15 of the scanners and the Dutch have vowed to buy 60 more.
They are also retrofitting the scanners with software that projects a stylised human figure on to the computer rather than the actual body image to address privacy concerns.
Charges: Umar Abdulmutallab, 23, is alleged to have tried to detonate explosives in his underwear on board a Christmas Day flight to Detroit
Gordon Brown is pressing for Britain to add more scanners than the few they have been testing at London's Heathrow Airport, Europe's busiest terminal, Manchester and other sites.
In Italy, Interior Minister Roberto Maroni said today that full body scanners will be installed at Rome's Leonardo da Vinci airport, Milan's Malpensa airport and possibly in Venice within the next three months.
'The right not to be blown up on an airplane is a more important right than privacy,' Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said.
The U.S. Transportation Security Administration, which uses 40 scanners throughout the United States, has announced plans to order dozens more.
A report into intelligence failings that led to the failed attack is due to be made public today by the White House. President Barack Obama will also reveal new steps intended to strengthen security.
Since the attempted attack on Christmas Day, the EU has been reevaluating its security regulations. Aviation experts now must assess whether body scanners can fit into EU legislation, officials said.
'We have to reach agreement together with the (European) parliament and member states,' Antonio Tajani, European Commission Vice President, said today.
'It's best to have a European solution than having individual member states deciding on their own.'
Any significant action on the issue would have to be taken by the European Commission, and approved by the EU parliament - a process that could take several months even if all member states agreed on the need.
Mr Schouppe said: 'We must have a common position for all European Union members states so that there is a real transparency between measures taken on the European side and the U.S. side.
'I have the feeling that (the Americans) are exaggerating. I don't know what kinds of controls they were using previously, but here, in Belgium and in the large majority of European airports, security controls were strict enough.'
Abdulmutallab was indicted yesterday on charges including attempted murder and trying to use a weapon of mass destruction to kill nearly 300 people.
The 23-year-old Nigerian was on a database of people with links to terrorists and his father had warned U.S. officials that he may have been radicalised, but that threat was never fully identified by U.S. intelligence officials.
SPECIAL REPORT by Tetractys Merkaba, Editor-in-Chief
The Age in Melbourne has run an interesting story today on the capture of some evil paedophiles, utilising secretive technology.
The Mikiverse, whilst having no issue with the capture of evil paedophiles, nevertheless, does have issues with some of the elements being used in their capture.
We must remember, that even guilty people who have committed the most evil of acts, are just as entitled to due process, as everyone else in our community, not to mention, being afforded the right of innocence, until guilt is proven.
This is a very important Common Law right that we must protect. It is up to the independent media, as well as, concerned and responsible members of our community to uphold our principles, our belief's.
Do you realise that every time you receive a speeding ticket, or a notice, that you are being presumed guilty, and that unless you actively take steps to clear up this misapprehension, then you will be indeed guilty, and therefore liable to pay a debt to a corporation?
Of course, you are not guilty of a crime, you are in breach of a contract. Yet, now we are sailing into different waters, so I shall remind you quickly, that neither your elected politicians at any level, the police, nor the media will, nor have ever, alerted you to the fact that any type of 'ticket' issued to you is in fact, a claim of right that presumes your GUILT, rather than your innocence.
This is an important distinction.
Presumption of innocence is one of our inalienable human rights, and without it, we are at the mercy of the most most powerful and aggressive elements of our society, who can now point the finger of accusation unfairly, with the burden of proof now attached to you.
Yet, there is an even bigger issue at play here.
Freedom.
As mentioned in an earlier article, the usage of this type of technology on evil paedophiles is a trojan horse, or a piece of malware, designed to let evil technology slip by our guard and settle itself in our loungeroom before it unleashes its real damage.
Who will this technology target after it captures most of the evil paedophiles?
Opponents of the New World Order,more commonly known as the United Nations? Supporters of natural medicines, supplements and cures? Opponents of multinational corporations and their enslavement of people to maximise their profits? Supporters of bali, 7/7, and 9/11 truth? Opponents of the proposed Iranian invasion? Supporters of the Common Law, the Constitution and the sanctity of National boundaries? Opponents of the corporatisation of our police, local, state and federal governments?
In other words, US! Members of the Global Truth Communities.
Ladies and Gentleman, I humbly beeseech you to think carefully, before you support this type of technology.
This is the action of John Howard using the Pt. Arthur false flag to steal the ability of Australian's to defend themselves with guns, W.Bush using 9/11 to push through the Patriots Act.
The former sought to protect us from so-called gun wielding maniacs, the latter from so-called Islamic terrorists, yet in both cases, there is strong evidence of government involvement.
And finally, what shall we make of the police's ability to transcend the need to acquire "court-approved search warrants" ?
The police at the recent G20 protests in Pittsburgh, transcended the need to give people due process and the presumption of innocence.
Luke Rudkowski and fellow peaceful, Patriotic Americans were rounded up like cattle, prodded and tear-gassed. Their crime? Standing in a park articulating their beliefs.
This is the thin edge of the wedge, and if we do not stand united on what we know to be true, we are going wake up in a police-state wondering what happened.
From The Age Police home in on child porn
John Silvester October 1, 2009 - 12:00AM
VICTORIA Police have secretly identified thousands of child pornography suspects who are allegedly trading images through international online networks.
Detectives expect to make hundreds of arrests after using an international software program to spy on files held in private computers.
The breakthrough technology, designed in the US to pinpoint computers holding known child pornographic images, has been operating successfully in Queensland for six months. The images, previously seized around the world and then computer coded by police, can be tracked through share networks to individual computers.
Victoria Police made their first arrest using the technology earlier this month. A 60-year-old office worker, who is married with two adult children, will be charged on summons with possessing and transmitting child pornography.
The method gives police the capacity to identify the contents and images on computers without applying for court-approved search warrants and without raiding suspects.
Detective Sergeant Peter Ravlich, from the Brisbane-based Taskforce Argos, said the software had revolutionised child-porn investigations. The taskforce had made 40 arrests since investigators started using the program in March. "It just doesn't make mistakes,'' he said.
Late last month, Detective Ravlich and Constable Graham Pease helped train five Melbourne investigators from the Internet Child Exploitation Team on how to use the program. In just two days the team identified thousands of computers in Victoria that hold child porn images.
The computer hits are then placed against Google maps to help confirm locations. The imaging, seen by The Age, shows Melbourne covered in red dots, with each dot representing a suspect computer. One beach suburb shows hundreds of hits and the inner-city area is saturated by thousands of dots.
The suspects are using file-sharing technology similar to programs used to share music files between computers. One computer has more than 200 suspect share files, with 192 confirmed as holding illegal child porn images.
Police have seized computers with ''tens of thousands'' of illegal images.
The police program follows peer-to-peer networks that share and swap the images around the world. The illegal images, when seized by police, are encrypted in a way the new software can identify.
The system effectively grades suspects - identifying "contact offenders", those likely to molest children - by analysing the material held in computers.
The head of the sexual crimes squad, Detective Inspector Glen Davies, said the high-risk suspects would be targeted first. ''One of the great assets of the new system is it allows us to identify suspects who are more likely to harm children,'' he said.
The investigators' first priority was to rescue potential victims. ''There are hundreds of addresses that we will now follow up,'' Detective Davies said.
He said the software logged the number of times suspects entered the networks, as well as the type of images stored.
Police would not chase people who might have inadvertently accessed material but would concentrate on habitual offenders.
''People who are downloading this material must understand they are supporting a commercial industry that involves the rape of children,'' Detective Davies said.
''The offenders will be caught, their reputations destroyed and they will face jail in the toughest conditions imaginable.''
Only the Australian Federal Police, Queensland and Victoria police have been trained to use the software in Australia.
Under law-enforcement protocols, all known suspect addresses in Victoria will be logged into an international police database. Some of the Australian suspects were identified by US police up to four years ago but nothing was done as local authorities did not have access to the program.
The international investigation began in Wyoming in 2003. The software program has since been modified to become more efficient. It is now being used throughout the US and in 29 countries, including Australia.
