Any chance we can explain that to the TSA folks? I would tend to support technology that avoided groping IF it did not generate an image (pending cost-effectiveness analysis, etc, of course, and not as primary screening). But somehow I have the feeling some people within the TSA liker the idea of generating nude images and watching them secretly, not for the indecent exposure, but to show other people that they can do what they want in the name of "security"...
emphasis mine: please don't use the tsa and phrases like ""perfectly logical" and "crystal clear" in the same sentence while i'm eating....

now as to your "feeling" that some people at the tsa will be secretly viewing the images in, shall we say, not a proper manner".....give it time to come out and be made public, just give it time. (and poof, there goes the millimeter wave machine from service as yet another fine example of the tsa wasting (oops, my bad, i meant spending) money on a process which they thoroughly didn't perfect even tho they had the resources to do so)
