How's it any different from wearing a thong on the beach? Which isn't something I've ever done, I don't have enough self-confidence in my body, but lots of people do and it isn't bad.
Plus, you're showing pictures of what these machines CAN create, they DON'T, they're not making images. Instead, they're using something called automated target recognition.

Um.....you exercise your personal freedom of choice to not wear a thong in public. (I make the same choice).
When I fly, just because I am flying, not because I have a record or a past that would warrant watching me closely, I am given a choice: stand in the nudeoscope and let pervs look at my butt crack or, because I'm an involuntary medical opt-out, allow pervs to stick their hands inside my pants into my butt crack.
(Full disclosure: errant blue fingers do not always find their way to my butt crack - it seems to depend on something SSI - maybe the skill of the TSO, their inattention span or the length of their fingers).

Is this the kind of image that led to the remote viewing booths, the NOS exemption for children, the eventual adoption of the Gumby interface (ATR), and this event?

And how exactly are narcotics a danger to the security of the plane? Are you worried that the passenger is planning to share them with the pilot?

I can confirm that the old sore shoulder trick still works if and when you ever get "randomly" sent to the nudie scanner. All I had to do was stand around for a hand swab for a few seconds.
And the answer to the TSO's plaintive, "It's random! Why are you giving me all this crap?" is, "Because you work here and decided to hold me up for no reason."
