Naked Body Scanners-New Stimulus Plan

NewsCastDaily noticed that the images look an awful lot like full color negatives:
What happens if you invert the full body scan images which is then a positive picture? You don’t need to be a computer expert, using any software suite like Photoshop will work. Inverting a photo is a simple process that takes one click and is an option available even in the most basic image editing software. When you invert some of these images you get a naked body in full living color. I don’t think the American people will stand for these results. If this system gets put into service, how long before naked photos of people start showing up all over the internet. Now we know why the full body scanners break child porn laws in the UK.



According to Fox News:
The first (3) of 150 full-body scanners planned for U.S. airports will be installed in Boston next week, officials said Tuesday....
The rest of the 150 machines that were purchased with $25 million from President Barack Obama's 2009 stimulus plan are expected to be installed in airports by the end of June, another homeland security official, spokeswoman Amy Kudwa.

This is what some on Twitter are retweeting:
KevRightWinger Expect Muslims to boycott the 150 U.S. Airports receiving the full body scanners. Good! Those airports will become the safest to fly out of.

Edited to add:
Bungalow Bill points out in comments that there may be more to it. Like the government may want these detailed images in order to identify Americans through biometrics. He says:
"There has to be other reason the government wants to record a person’s naked body. I fear, with all the talk before the election and with the formation of a national database, rumored to be under development by GE’s Healthymagination, these images could easily be stored and used for other purposes, including technology that matures from today’s face recognition software—bio metric software. These images could be used to identify people later on."
