Let me turn that question around to you: Ah, so you do have a desire for modesty on your terms, but won't allow the same for others. We have religious freedom. But what if it's part of someone's religion to sacrifice dogs and cats on Sunday? Religious freedom is not absolute. In the same way, the right to modesty is not absolute. If you are mistaken for a big time drug dealer the cops might do a strip search on you, you protestations of modesty be damned. The challenge in a free society such as ours is to balance rights when they come into conflict. How would YOU handle it if a man going through security was too modest to take off his hat or a woman was too modest to remove her hijab?
