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?

I know what you are getting at. IF you approach the cp barechested, you will not get patted down in the cp. If you approach the cp with a shirt on and take it off there and run it through the xray, you wont get patted down. You might encounter security in LEO or private form at this point. If you approach the CP and walk through with a shirt on and get sent to secondary screening, you may not take it off. You will get patted down.
