I would submit that the reasons for having the monitor in a separate room is more so that the searched passenger cannot see their own image and less for the privacy of said pax.
After all, it's much easier to keep the sheeple in the dark if they can't see what's happening.

...or that the TSA doesn't want their employees exposed to the radiation passengers are being exposed to. It would be interesting for someone to note the distance between the chamber and the TSA operator and if they see evidence of any type of shielding or special construction - wall thickness, seals on doors, etc

I'm betting the tabloids will be paying for some celebrity images sooner or later.

How is this different than if a pax has been SSSS'd and as part of that secondary the weapon is found? There is no fruit of the poisonous tree if the implied consent holds up. If it doesn't then the whole basis for screening will fall away.
