So what?

Like the poorly paid TSA droog watching the monitor won't have ample unsupervised opportunity to leverage his/her phonecam into some extra money.

The Rape-EE-Scan machines come standard with a drive attachment for easy downloading.

I would submit that the reasons for having the monitor in a separate room is more so that the searched passenger cannot see their own image and less for the privacy of said pax.

After all, it's much easier to keep the sheeple in the dark if they can't see what's happening.

Then how do we know that it is really a "chalk outline" they are viewing and not the original picture of every organ, fat roll and wrinkle?

...or that the TSA doesn't want their employees exposed to the radiation passengers are being exposed to. It would be interesting for someone to note the distance between the chamber and the TSA operator and if they see evidence of any type of shielding or special construction - wall thickness, seals on doors, etc

Image capture and storage was in the earlier design specs for all such devices. Furthermore, all such devices displays can be remotely captured too.

I'm betting the tabloids will be paying for some celebrity images sooner or later.

They would have to have that capability in order to use the scan as evidence if they ever caught anyone with a weapon secreted on his/her torso.

They don't need the scan as evidence of the weapon, they'd have the weapon itself.

oh, trust me, they would need the image. The DA prosecuting that case would demand it.

Why would the DA need it? It might be nice, but with implied consent and secondary security, a pax has no ability to decline the secondary pat-down screening that would actually find the weapon.

How is this different than if a pax has been SSSS'd and as part of that secondary the weapon is found? There is no fruit of the poisonous tree if the implied consent holds up. If it doesn't then the whole basis for screening will fall away.

If a weapon was found by the WTMD would the DA demand an audio recording of the thing beeping?
