Well, nw ... I would expect that the machine presented by the TSA is a standard X-ray machine of some kind (I know that's a stretch). My main concern (discounting the nude aspect for the moment) is that I'd rather not have exposure to any more X-rays than I already am. If this device is not designed to register X-rays then it's not going to be much good -- again, assuming that the machine is designed to deliver what the TSA says it is.
