One Hundred Naked Citizens: One Hundred Leaked Body Scans At the heart of the controversy over "body scanners" is a promise: The images of our naked bodies will never be public.  U.S. Marshals  in a Florida Federal courthouse saved 35,000 images on their scanner. These are those images. A  Gizmodo  investigation has revealed 100 of the photographs saved by the  Gen 2 millimeter wave scanner  from Brijot Imaging Systems, Inc., obtained by a FOIA request after it was recently revealed that  U.S. Marshals operating the machine  in the Orlando, Florida courthouse had improperly- perhaps illegally -saved images of the scans of public servants and private citizens. We understand that it will be controversial to release these photographs. But identifying features have been eliminated. And fortunately for those who walked through the scanner in Florida last year, this mismanaged machine used the less embarrassing imaging technique. Yet the leaking of
