I’m not going to rely on circumstantial evidence of the photos being stock photos that already exist on the net… I can do FAR better than that, with affirmative proof that what is presented is counterfeit.

PROOF OF COUNTERFEITING #1: The supposed X-ray not only shows counter, but is even tri-tone (light, shadow, and sepia/skin-tone).

PROOF OF COUNTERFEITING #2:

Look at the full color image. Note how the the woman’s jeans form-fit perfectly around the inside of her upper thighs and pelvis. Particularly, note the inverted triangle of “empty” space bounded by the very top of her nner thighs, and the pubic area. In the full-color image, you this area is COMPLETELY UNOBSTRUCTED.

Now note that the supposed X-ray image on the right shows the barrel of the pistol COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTING the same line of sight.
Therefore, these images were NOT made at the same time — which directly contradicts what you would do if you were taking “demonstration” images.

This alone indicates that the supposed “x-ray image” was ACTUALLY the product of adding in the pistol and knife images to a photo of a nude female (either before or after inverting it to make a reverse-tone image).

PROOF OF COUNTERFEITING #3:

Hair. Backscatter images do NOT show hair.

If Backscatter images actually DID show hair, then all you would need to do is wear wool (sheep hair) clothing to hide anything you want behind it — which would ELIMINATE the controversy, because then you “help help, perverts at TSA want to see my [whatever]” would have to do no more than wear an article of wool clothing in the areas of concern, even OUTSIDE of their undergarments.

PROOF OF COUNTERFEITING #4 — the most damning off all.

X-Rays do not detect skin color, where as this supposed x-ray image CLEARLY shows the darker skin color around the nipples.

Please show us an example of a single x-ray of a hand which shows variations in skin color (such as the gripping surfaces of the fingers and palms of people of African descent, or any one with either freckles or age-spots on their hands).

The fact is, you can’t, because x-rays aren’t influenced by melanin by that much of an extent, yet in THIS set of images, the melanin around the nipple has some super-powerful influence on X-rays.

Case closed — the image set a counterfeit and fraudulent, made for the purpose of disinformation.

That way when I reversed it all of the color detail was exposed. I have tried the same process with what I know to be authentic airport scans but can not duplicate the result I got here.

I contemplated removing this blog entry but decided to leave it for information purposes. As Sal would say: “This is a traction.”
