> In response to a Congressional inquiry, led by Congressman Bennie Thompson, the Transportation Security Agency 
> acknowledged that images on body scanner machines would be recorded for "testing, training, and evaluation purposes." 
> The TSA also did not dispute that test mode could be activated in airports, but said this "would" not happen. As part 
> of an ongoing lawsuit, EPIC had previously obtained TSA documents describing the machines' capabilities to store and 
> transmit detailed images of travelers' naked bodies. For more information, see EPIC: Whole Body Imaging Technology.
