FindLaw columnist Eric Sinrod writes regularly in this section on legal developments surrounding technology and the internet.
Well, if you haven’t, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer has given this some thought. Indeed, he is proposing a bill that would make it illegal for anyone to distribute or copy these images in an unauthorized fashion.
Penalties potentially could include fines of as much as $100,000, up to a year in prison, or possibly both.
The Transportation Security Administration reportedly has stated that the images are deleted after review, the images are not susceptible of storing, printing or distributing, and that blurring of images blocks individual identification.
Still, Schumer’s bill is designed to add legal force just in case as to technology that scans under our clothing.
While security is vital, privacy is important too.
