Actor Asked to Autograph Print of Scan

Happened at LHR, not in the US, but the story reports that the British have also said the images of backscatter X-ray scans are deleted, not saved.

In this case, apparently, someone made multiple hard copies.

Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan has raised new questions about how anonymous and non-invasive the body scanners are.

Khan autographed printed copies of his body scan that were distributed to airport staff after a previous visit to London's Heathrow Airport.

Trust Shah Rukh to go ahead and sign the scans without realizing the significance and gravity of the situation and holding people accountable on the spot. Stupid. Just stupid.

This is an older story, and it was already proved to be true. But people don't are about that here, huh? Somehow, right after be stepped out of the scanner, the screeners already had multiple scans to be autographed.... Right.... They printed off multiple scans, ran from the screening room to the checkpoint, and made it therebefore he exited the machine.

Someone has been drinking our TSA kool-aid, me thinks...

People will believe what they want to believe, despite facts.

As this is an old story discussed here, and refuted by BAA, I'm going to close this thread. If there is anything new to add, feel free to "bump" the original thread.
