As to the nude-o-scope, purely in the eyes of the law, what is the difference between a child pornographer viewing images on their home computer and a TSO looking at 12 year old girls being scanned by that machine? (I'm not talking about how much they enjoy what they're doing; only about the dispassionate view under the laws of our nation of what they are actually doing).
The dispassionate view of the law is the perceived intent of the image. If a Judge feels the image was intended to arouse the image is child porn. In this case you would never win because the purpose of the image is not to arouse.
Now if a TSO captured an image of a child and then gave the image away or kept it for himself, that same image could now be child porn as the purpose has changed.
