EPIC v. Homeland Security: Government has Over 2,000 Photos from Airport Body Scanners

Posted on April 16, 2010July 3, 2025 by Dissent

From EPIC.org, via a helpful site reader:

As a result of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, EPIC has obtained hundreds of pages of documents from the Department of Homeland Security about the plan to deploy full body scanners in US airports. A letter to EPIC reveals that the government agency possesses about 2,000 body scanner photos from devices that the DHS said earlier “could not store or record images.” EPIC has also obtained the most recent device procurement specifications, and several hundred new pages of traveler complaints.
