OK, you're a puritan!

But seriously, I never suggested doing anything inappropriate at the checkpoint itself. I proposed requesting a private screening and undressing there -- and only there. I wouldn't be disrupting anything. And the interests of "security" would be well-served because any fool could see that I was carrying no weapons or explosives. I cannot understand the TSA's determination to touch me when I offer an even better alternative. It really makes no sense. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is happy to be naked but greatly resents being touched against my will.
