My suggestions were for airportbodyscannerinfo or bodyscannerinfo since there are a lot of people who will be very very hesitant to click a link to something with the word 'nude' in it, and in fact it might be filtered for a lot of people who would want to look up this information while at work or a public library or anywhere that uses content filtering.
Re-direction could be a problem for people who have filtering or firewalls that looks for words like nude and blocks the site as potentially pornographic. While having people realize that the TSA's view of these naked images could very well be considered pornographic, having our message blocked by filtering makes it that much harder to get the word out.
I'm thinking about this in terms of appealing to the broadest possible audience, which includes Mr. and Mrs. Middle American Conservative whose internet Flanders-Filters are usually cranked up to 11.
How would you suggest we handle that?

I have no trouble accessing it on our corporate intranet.
Are you volunteering? There are a couple other efforts in the works that I can't really discuss (those responsible will announce them in due time), but a comprehensive, head-on assault on TSA will take a lot more effort than some might think.

Then I offer the 100$ for any purpose in connection to educating the public about the TSA's un-American activities.
Advertising, printing, legal defense funds. I will help, in addition to handing out flyers and raising attention for nudeoscope.com

Attempts to post http://www.nudeoscope.com/ on PV have failed so far.
Seems the First Amendment has no meaning for PV, Blogger Bob and Pissy.

I sent a message to all the chapters of We Are Change. They are a fairly over-the-top 911 truther group. I am not of this flavor, however, they have performed several protests at airports and other places concerning nude-o-scopes in the past 6-9 months, and might be beneficial in our exposure of this matter.
I posted to them links to this forum, the Facebook page "All Facebook Against Airport Full Body Scanners", the latest from epic.org, and the nudeoscope web site.
If you visit the facebook site, there are many protest posters that were created by members of this group. While we don't agree with many of their beliefs, we are in full agreement about the matter of nude-o-scopes and grope-downs.^

The Boston Globe has a report about the Grope-Fest and they seem to think it's a good idea.
However the comments tell an entirely different story.

A new “European” pat-down
TSA has coined another euphemism, European pat-down. Sounds like some sort of beauty treatment a Swedish massage or Vichy shower. No. Not quite. This is the name that TSA has applied to a police-style or prison pat-dow using palm forward and roughly pushing the hand into body crevices. I’ve been through scores, of not hundreds of pat-downs in Europe and haven’t been treated like by any European inspector.

Finally some momentum building on this issue.
The Nude-o-Scopes at FLL T2 were shut off and not in use today, so I missed my massage. I wonder why.

I would like full credit to go to Big "Perverted Sis" Napolitano, John "Grab the Nads" Pistole and all other TSA employees.
Seriously, these peoples names need to be attached to each and every document opposing the TSA.
