Body scanners can store, send images, group says – amFIX - CNN.com Blogs

I am trying to figure this out. Is the TSA using software to cripple/change the image, or are the cameras themselves not good enough?

Is this a fake, or can this be done in post processing? Or, is their claim correct and this is what the TSA actually sees, but are lying to the public showing off the blurry overexposed images?
The truth about airport body scanners

I know that the UK isn't allowing kids to be imaged, which makes sense if the images are really detailed.

Or is one type more detailed than the other version? I know that 10 years ago, the Sony nightshot camera with a simple IR filter & light could see through clothes. With the advances in cameras and medical imaging, it seems possible.

I'm not too concerned about getting scanned, but I think these will create more problems than they solve. Are you concerned, or would you not want to have your spouse or kids be imaged?
