And where do the original scans get saved? And for how long? Who can access those? Can those images be resold? Can I request my personal data and request to have it removed?

I felt 100% violated when I had to go through a machine like this and haven't felt like flying ever since, I'll take the train thanks. When the kids couldn't be scanned because that would constitue child porn, that's where we should have scratched our head and maybe take a step back.

I own the image of my genitals and have exclusive rights to distribute them, not some TSA human I have never met before.

Yep, intra continental travel is what is left (for pleasure, I guess if you want to emigrate you could take a boat) That's cool, I have seen like 2% of it. Maybe in 25 years, you won't be obliged to share the image of your genitals if you want to travel by plane. Cross ocean travel is really cool and can expand your horizons, but I don't really need it.
