Well, unless the clothing conformed to one's contours--all of them--so closely as to be like a second skin, then how could it simulate a "clean scan"? To do that presumably would require an image showing ALL of the normal human anatomy in its detail--whether for inspection by the TSO in the case of backscatter, or by the ATR algorithm in the case of MMW.
Your question raises an interesting philosophical point: would it be less objectionable to be viewed pseudo-naked, with some sort of artificial genitalia, buttocks, breasts, etc. (rubberized into the clothing?) compared with letting the scanner see the real stuff?
