Free startup idea: wordpress blog giving a $10 bounty per back scatter image submitted, post adwords, simultaneously profit and raise an uproar.

In what sense is that anything other than bribing government officials?

what's your point? bribery isn't a one-sided thing. if there are government officials that'll sell out for $10, we all very much need to find that out before someone offers them more than $10 for something more valuable than a nudie pic.

My point is that this business plan is a quick ticket to somewhere where you'll get a considerably more invasive search than you'd get from the TSA.

It's not really a bribe per se if you offer a bounty to the public and an official responds. It probably violates privacy laws and such though.

As soon as you pay out to said official, it's a bribe. Besides, who would you expect to respond?
