While you may not feel it is a very big deal, it is still providing airport security a image of your naked body, and a lot of people are not going to be comfortable with that. I simply do not think that type of invasion of privacy is necessary. It is taking things way too far.
I don't disagree with any particular thing you've said, except that I want to reiterate that, according to the article you linked to at least, not a single person will be providing airport security with an image of their naked body unless they actively consent to do so. No one has to be uncomfortable. Nobody has to feel that their privacies are being violated in that way. The ones who choose to do it obviously wouldn't feel that way, and the ones who do obviously wouldn't go through the process. As long as it's ONLY like that, then I really don't see a single thing wrong with it. If it progresses to something mandatory, and people are up in arms over it, I'll certainly agree with you that it's gone too far. But maybe Bingowings would like to chime in with some more recent perspective. How is that experiment going along anyway?
