Here is a compilation of violators and what was done to deal with the trouble makers.

This one is particularly interesting because it includes a video a good took of the event and it is responsible for the recent exposure of TSA practices. The pathetic thing is Napolitano mentions images are not retained or transmitted. I do not know about the transmission, but retention is a flat out LIE.

To expand upon abuses of the images and point out Napolitano is full of crap, here are a few stories.

The sad thing about all of this, with the enhanced security which involves humiliating sexual assault and taking pictures of your junk, is it effective? That fancy new imaging machine would not have caught that underwear bomber. It won't stop some kind of foreign object stuff into some body cavity. All of the unnecessary groping won't stop that. Instead we have people getting their breasts and genital areas felt up. Think about the humiliating procedure given to someone disabled, or if there are religious considerations?
What gives the TSA officer the authority to give you a happy ending in the airport? The federal government is asserting the power way too much. Ironically, illegal aliens come into this country all of the time...but they are not guilty of flying while American.
Solutions?
I found this interesting article comparing Israeli security vs American.
"But here it is done completely, absolutely 180 degrees differently than it is done in North America."

One of the main differences was the use of passenger profiling. The disgusting thing about that is if profiling is practiced, it is considered "unconstitutional" by liberals and other politically correct losers. As if what they are doing now isn't unconstitutional, demeaning, and disgusting.
One of my biggest concerns is this:
1) The radiation from those machines is said to be harmless, but airline employees are exposed to it more frequently. What are the long term effects? Didn't the government deny agent orange and gulf war syndrome as harmful?
2) Those pictures are clearly not deleted immediately. What if those images are obtained by some sick-o pedophile?
