#2Why don't they just install a background behind the subject that produces a checkerboard pattern? This is exactly why programs like Photoshop use a checkered background to make it trivial to detect transparency in your images.
Wouldn't that render the exploit this guy found obsolete?

#3What are the estimated costs of getting a lawsuit to the Supreme Court?

#6Be sure to read the TSA's official response on their blog. [1] The comments there are priceless.

If it does make his exploit obsolete, then it also has a side effect of the TSA admitting that the backscatter machines have been ineffective for 2 (3?) years now. That is something they will never admit.

What morons, they use the word "interwebs" in the first sentence to make themselves look hip to the internet.
The whole tone of this blog post though really rubs me the wrong way. it comes across as a post from defensive asshole teen who was caught looking like a fool, as opposed to a federal agency funded with BILLIONS of free money they take from the citizens which they spend in ways which are completely unaccountable to said citizens, and the results of which inconvenience, for no reason, the same citizens -- with methods which are proven to be lacking to say the least.
I am so tired of security theater. These people are fucking dolts, amateurs themselves and are skimming billions of dollars from programs we actually need; like science, research, education and health.
FUCK the TSA.

#9What are the estimated costs of getting a lawsuit to the Supreme Court?
I'd love to know that too. I just threw in $100 (via the donation button on the top right of the linked article), but I'm glad to donate more if he needs it.
I really wish I had time to tilt at this particular windmill, so I'm very grateful that this fellow is being so relentless.

Thank you for that! The cost in filing fees, printing, and mailing for SCOTUS I estimate to be near $2K. If it's accepted, I need to travel to DC for oral arguments. All this in addition to dozens (or more) hours of missed work in order to research, write, and handle things.
Even if I got no donations, I would self-fund this suit, so no worries about donating more... anything anyone wants to contribute is much appreciated!
