I think the issue needs to be reopened - the intrusion is far from minimal. Any lawyers on this board that might be intersted?
I would hope so since this is far over what is required to even have a face to face talk with POTUS and all most of us want to do is to simply fly from point a to point b with our luggage and dignity intact.

The MMW images are much better than what BB at PV leads us to believe. You can make out scars, colostomy bags, adult diapers, etc. and this shouldn't be anywhere near a requirement to fly anywhere.
