April 25, 2009 TSA's candid camera
From virtual strip search to virtual candid camera, the TSA has you covered. This slightly opaque post from the TSA’s nearly unbearably cheeky Evolution of Sercurity blog makes only one thing clear - you are being watched more than you thought. There are, at least, warning signs. This removes none of the creepiness though. I read the post a couple of times and still can’t tell you how SPO-7 works or what good it does. It either is or isn’t similar to the Millimeter Wave strip search technlogy. Maybe you’ll make more of it.

Similar technology is being used to screen international travelers who may be ill with swine flu.

I saw that on their blog and thought it was even creepier too. I wonder if it's even Constitutional to conduct searches like this. Wouldn't it be nice if the TSA made less an effort to put on a show and more of an effort to stop bad guys on planes?
Let them do bad and capture them candid then post it to Candid Earthlings.
