Was it backscatter or MMW?

Would you characterize TSA's claims that the images are safe for viewing by school children accurate?

I don't think she is wearing a thong - that's the "gluteal cleft" on the rear shot (where someone with great muscle control could easily hide something.) On the front shot you can see her "pantie line" in the groin area.

Gotcha...."gluteal cleft" --- just the sound of it cracks me up.

I believe it was a MMW, but I wasn't paying attention to the type of machine, because I was startled at how clear and descriptive the images were.
