Default Full body scanners yay or nay

Here is an article on full body scanners for airport security checkpoints.

I personally have no problem with them if someone wants to oogle my sagging belly and little package well thats just strange. But its not like its going to be on you tube.

Though I can understand why some folks might find it 'invasive'. Lets say a famous 'hot' acteress was asked to pass through the scanners. Those motives may be questioned.

Anyhow get out those x-ray glasses and let me know what you see

The Transportation Security Administration wants to install more of the devices, known as whole-body imaging scanners, but the agency has met resistance from civil liberties groups, passengers and some members of Congress.

Privacy concearns

WASHINGTON (AP) - High-tech security scanners that might have prevented the Christmas Day attempt to blow up a jetliner have been installed in only a small number of airports around the world, in large part because of privacy concerns over the way the machines see through clothing.
