it is completely within one's right to express their dissatisfaction with the nude-o-scope to anyone who will listen (n.b. will listen) and then it is up to the person listening if they want to act on that opinion. if it causes a delay due to that person having concerns or not kowing what the machine does/does not do, it causes a delay and afaic, that is no different than getting stuck behind a kettle who does not know that you have to take all metal objects out of their pocket, remove their shoes and that all l's, g's and a's must be less than 3.4oz and in a freedom baggie

You should be careful how you approach that "making sure they dont forget that experience" as you may not like what happens. In my case you threaten me and you will be explaining yourself to LE amongst other officials including your airlines GSC. If the threats turn physical all bets are off as to what will happen to you.

Then there is also something called the first amendment aka freedom of speech.
what Scubatooth says is something to consider very strongly as it would "not be a good thing" to make a scene (physical, verbal or otherwise) at the checkpoint as more often than not, "witnesses" will see only "the retaliation" with the retaliator getting in trouble (just like in hockey where one player is cheap shotted and the ref misses it but sees the retaliation with the retaliator getting called for the penalty).
