My question is really not that difficult: Would TSA screeners be content to look at my obviously bare skin and not touch me? That's it. Can somebody answer this question?

Bruce, I think you already have your answer. Since it's not SOP for passengers to take off their clothes (unless you're a woman and they drag you into a stairwell, apparently), and since it is an SOP requirement that they do a pat-down with secondary, they will pat you down. Whether they fine you, have you arrested, and/or make you put on your clothes before the pat-down is another question entirely.
