So here's the question. Suppose the machines were perfect and caught every bit of contraband, all the time. And suppose the TSAs staffing the machines were altert and perfect noticing each and every bit of contraband that was displayed on the screens. If this were the case, would modesty and or orthodox religious beliefs still trump the absolute 100% ability to locate weapons before they were taken aboard a plane?
