That is essential to the argument. The SPO-7 does not peer under anything. Before making such an argument I would suggest going to the link I provided to additional information on the system and reading. The concept of how it works is absolutely amazing.
The concept is simple, detect density readings on a particular frequency range of radiation. If density equals a set parameter indicate a graphical reference to "threat" level based on that parameter.

The frequency range it does density readings on are out of the visible spectrum. Therefore it does peer beneath clothing.

Ask yourself this. If cameras are allowed because of the plain sight concept, why is the TSA spending a butt load of cash on a visible light spectrum camera and why are they attempting to by pass the Constitution with “implied consent” signage when they are not needed?
