2. If this is an accurate image, why should people have to go to a third-party web site to find it?
3. Why does TSA refuse to post a sample image that's the same size and resolution as those seen by the degenerate operating the strip-search technology?

1. The site is the proof. The page is on the TSA portion of the makers site.
2. You know and it is well posted that there is no way to capture any images that TSA sees of actual passengers. I operate one of those machines and when the program is running there is nothing that you can do with the computer except use the manufacturers software that is on the computer. You cannot cut and paste, you cannot access the drives, you cannot do ANYTHING except look at the pictures and move to the next picture.
3. The only thing that is not posted that is different are the GUI controls for image and those are manufacturer proprietary.

What about the inversion and zoom controls that the clerk in the peep room can use?

What about them? I alluded to those as being on the GUI and they are proprietary.

That is not listed as being an "actual" image. There is no way to independently validate that 300dpi is the highest resolution available to the imaging display. The image displayed is filed as a JPG, an incredibly "lossy" image format (i.e., it is a compressed video image with a codec that has the potential to lose a great deal of information, especially in a b/w image set). I, for one, highly doubt that the TSA would permit a manufacturer to use 300dpi/jpeg as their final display resolution.

Think about that: If the scrotum is that high on the pubic bone then there is a problem with his anatomy. So you see, there is an issue with the image that leaves interpretation. It is not like you are looking at the center folds in a skin mag.

It is readily apparent to me that the male individual is wearing either briefs or an athletic supporter, both of which would hold the entire exterior penile complex higher on the anatomy (i.e., I don't think there is anything anatomically incorrect with the male subject). However, the mere fact that I can see the bottom of the scrotal sac, along with the anal cleft, in a 300dpi rear-view image means this shows too much detail.

Some guys have big balls. Some don't. Each guy is different.
But you're ignoring the issue. It doesn't matter whether it's skin mag quality or not. The point is it's still too invasive, especially when there are other less invasive alternatives that accomplish the same thing.

VERY GOOD observation on your part. You must know then that the image is captured as a jpeg for advertising only. The actual image is rendered in a proprietary format more like a mpeg or Jiff. But like I said, there is no reason that the maker of the machine would post something that the machine is not capable of doing.
You represent this image as the image that the TSO sees, then change the story when factual information is placed in front of you.
FYI - MPEG is a video format (also lossy in detail), while GIF (not Jiff - which is close to the name of a peanut butter) is a static image format (also lossy in detail).

And you are qualified to determine there's a problem with his anatomy how?

Ask Rolando. I think he had a pretty good idea ...
