Yes, the machines do store images, they're required to do so. And no recording devices are supposed to be taken into the booth, but I'm positive it won't be long before 'cell phone photos' are leaked.

Also, IMPLANTS are NOT visible with these scanners. Nor are ANY other type of IMPLANT. These scanners do not see past the skin. Nothing under the skin will show. A prostetic breast WILL show since it's above the skin.

The statement that the pictures are 'not pornographic' could only be accurate if your definition of pornography includes a sex act. these images clearly show the penis, testicles and laiba. Screaners can tell if a woman is using a tampon. So, complete and accurate nudity. Children under 12 have been exempt... but "the perv in the private booth can check our your 12 year old daughter's 'junk'."

As 'punishment' for 'Opting-Out' of the scan (which emits radiation and per experts in radiology 'will cause some cancer') is the 'enhanced pat down' also frequently referred to as 'sexual assult' since it qualifies in most jurisdictions. TSA Agents can use the fronts of their hands and fingers to touch every part of your body including vagina, anus, penis, testicles and breasts and can place their hands under your underwear. Again, in most jurisdictions, it qualifies as Sexual Assault. US Government Agents can claim Soverign Imunity as a defense... but I expect there will be some prosecutions.

There are also half a dozen law suits against the TSA for violating the US Constitutions 4th Amendment restricting search & seisure.
