I realise that it has yet to be confirmed wether DHS is actually storing the scanned images, but in all honesty, why wouldnt they?

Also, as a private citizen, if you took naked pictures of little kids, even it was for 'art' its still child pornography. How is the TSA EXEMPT from this?

Also, as an employee of the TSA, couldnt a case be tried for being in the presence of the production of child pornography?

And what every happened to the whole statuatory rape laws? and sexual assualt against a minor?
