From what I understand of the technology, it doesn't really see through clothing, does it? Looking through the thread I couldn't find any photos that showed anything like what the MMW machines show. It looked much more like a glorified video camera (junk science?) to me. If I'm wrong in my take on the technology, then my 4th amd. view might change.

As far as "intimate", I agree, he did not mean sex. But his analogy (lady of the house, sauna, bath)" was, in my opinion, his being cute and trying trigger in the reader's mind other situations where people do things in the house while naked. I did not mean to imply that his use of the word "intimate" is what sent my mind to the gutter-- or maybe that's the problem in the first place?
