strip-search (strĭp'sūrch')
tr.v. strip-searched, strip-search·ing, strip-search·es
To search (a person) for illegal articles, such as drugs or weapons, by first requiring the removal of all clothing.
The body-scanner is not a strip-search... you're adding drama to the situation.
Yes! you have the right to complain... and yes! you have the right to choose a hands-on search. But to dramatize the body-scanner by calling it a strip-search... is just childish.
